Answer: C is the correct option

Explanation:

The given graphs are straight line graphs.

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c

Where c = intercept

Slope, m =change in value of y on the vertical axis / change in value of x on the horizontal axis

change in the value of y = y2 - y1

Change in value of x = x2 -x1

The given equation is

- 5y = - 6x + 15

Rearranging the equation so that it will look like y = mx + c, it becomes

y = 6x/5 -3

The slope, m = 6/5

Looking at the graphs, the slope of graph c is 6/5. This is determined by picking corresponding points

(y2 - y1)/(x2-x1) = (3 - - 3)/(5 - 0) = 6/5
