Answer:

Explanation:

Given equation is
-24y = 3x + 24.

Now we need to graph that given equation
-24y = 3x + 24 to see which of the given choices best matches with the graph.

First let's solve the equation for y


-24y = 3x + 24


y=(3x)/(-24)+(24)/(-24)


y=-(1)/(8)x-1

Now compare it with
y=mx+b, we get:

y-intercept b=-1 and slope
m=-(1)/(8)

y-intercept is always graphed first so mark a point at (0,-1).

Then due to negative slope go down by 1 unit then 8 unit right. It will reach the new point (8,-2).

Now joint both points by a straight line to get the final graph as shown below.
