Question

What is the equation of this line?

A. y=4/3x−5

B. y=3/4x−5

C.y=−4/3x−5

D. y=4/3x+5

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

The y intercept is negative 5 because the line intersects the y axis at (0, -5). We know that the slope must be positive because the line goes to the right. This leaves us option A and option B. To find the slope we need to calculate rise over run. The rise over run is 4/3. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Up 4 and to the left 3 between two points so slope is 4/3 and it is positive
Y-intercept is below the x axis so it must be negative
The answer is A
