Question

Identify the graphed linear equation.
A) y = 5x + 2 y = 5x + 2
B) y = 5x - 2 y = 5x - 2
C) y = -5x + 2 y = -5x + 2
D) y = -5x - 2 y = -5x - 2

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of the given line is,

y = mx + b

m = slope of the line

b = y-intercept

From the graph attached,

Slope 'm' = $\frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}}$

m = $\frac{-5}{1}$ = -5

y-intercept of the given line = -2

Therefore, equation will be,

y = -5x - 2

Option (D) is the correct option.
