Question

Which function is represented by the graph?

A f(x) = -12x + 6f(x) = - 1 2 x + 6
B f(x) = 12x + 6f(x) = 1 2 x + 6
C f(x) = -2x + 6f(x) = -2x + 6
D f(x) = 2x + 6

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

Notice that all y-intercepts are the same (doesn't give a clue to the answer).

The line has a downward slant as you move from left to right, so the slope is negative (eliminating A & C as answers).

Determine the actual slope by identifying the y-intercept and x-intercept, and calculate Rise over Run:

Rise = -6 (goes from +6 to 0)

Run = +12

-6/12 = -1/2
