Question

Using graph paper, graph the following equation. Then click on the graph until the correct one is displayed.

y = - 3/5x + 1

Answer 1

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a function

`y=-(3)/(5)x+1`

We have to graph the given function .

Substitute x=0 then we get

`y=-(3)/(5)* 0+1=1`

The given equation cut the y- axis at y=1

Now, substitute y=0 then, we get

`0=-(3)/(5)x+1`

`(3)/(5)x=1`

`x=(5)/(3)=1.667`

Hence, the equation cut the x- axis at x=1.667

Therefore, the equation passing through the point (1.667,0) and (0,1).

Now, mark point (1.667,0) and (0,1) on the graph paper and then meet these points.

Answer 2

u didnt post a graph...so let me try and explain this line...

y = -3/5x + 1

slope = -3/5....negative slope means ur line is going down (decreasing)
ur y int is 1....that means the line crosses the y axis at (0,1)
ur x int can be found by subbing in 0 for y and solving for x...
0 = -3/5x + 1
3/5x = 1
x = 1 * 5/3
x = 5/3....so ur x int is (5/3,0)....5/3 = 1 2/3 for graphing purposes

so start at (0,1).....and since ur slope is -3/5, go down 3 spaces and to the right 5 spaces....ur line will cross the x axis at (5/3,0)
