There are no choices given in the question. It would be helpful if you understand how to graph the equation then from their you will know the answer. To graph a line, you need to determine the y-intercept and the slope. The y-intercept is where the line intersects to the y-axis which is 2 in this case. The slope is the rise over run which is -3 since it is negative it should be sloping to the left.

Answer:

Explanation:

y = -3x + 2 is a linear equation, whose graph looks like a line .

To find the graph of this equation we can find two points on it ,mark them on a graph paper and join to get the graph of line .

For points we can use random value of x

for x= 0

y = -3(0)+2=2

so point is (0,2)

for x=1

y = -3(1)+2

y= -1

Point is (1,-1)

Which of the following could be the graph of the line y = -3x + 2?-example-1
