Question

I'm just confused. I know we've learnt this before but I just forget. I'm doing one of the review sheets before our exam tomorrow. If you could help me out that would be great

Answer 1

b. y= 4x-34.

Explanation:

We can use the information in the problem to make an equation in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b).

Steepness typically means the slope of the graph, thus m=4.
This means we can automatically cross out "a" and "c", which leaves us with "b" and "d" as possible answers.

Next, I will plug in the given point (8, -2) into "b" and "d".
b. y=4x-34
-2=4(8)-34
-2=32-34

d. y=4x+34
-2=4(8)+34
-2 does not equal 66

Thus, the answer is b. y= 4x-34.
