Hello there! It is the second line, line X.

The equation asks which line is represented by the given equation, f(x)=3x+5. Well, since the equation is in y-intercept form, y = mx + b, we know m is the slope, so the slope is 3, and b is the y intercept, so they intercept is 5.

If any of the lines on the graph intersect at (0,5), or through the y axis at 5, they have a y intercept of 5 and could potentially be the correct answer. There is only one lune that does this, line x, making this the answer.

I hope this was helpful and have a great rest of your day!

Answer:

Line x is represented by the function f(x)=3x + 5

Explanation:

f(x)=3x+5; y -intercept = 5

When x = 0, y = 3(0) + 5 = 5

When x = - 2, y = 3(-2) + 5 = -1

So the coordinate points (0,5) and (-2, 1)

Look at the second line (x), it has the y-intercept at 5 and matching those 2 coordinate points above.

So answer is the second line (x)
