Answer:D y=-2x-1
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we first need to look at the direction of the line to determine whether the slope is positive or negative. Since the left portion of the line is Quadrant 2 and the right portion in quadrant 4, the slope will be negative. Anytime the line looks like \ it will be negative, while / is positive. This immediately eliminates answers A and C. Now, our next order of business is to find the slope of the line. To do this, we need to pick two points on the line and use the equation (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). Any points on the line will work, so even if you do not use the same as me, you still should get the same answer (this is a good way to check!)
point 1: (-2,3)
point 2: (0,-1)
(-1 - 3) / (0 - -2) = (-1 - 3) / (0 + 2) = -4/2 = -2
Since the slope is -2, we know the answer is d. Hope this helps
