Question

Help Quickly! Select the linear equation represented in the graph.

A. y = –5x + 1

B. y= -1/5x + 1

C. y = 5x – 1

D. y = 1/5x + 1

Answer 1

It is B. y=-1/5x+1 for this answer.

Answer 2

B. y= -1/5x + 1

Explanation:

First, I found out that the slope is moving downwards (left to right) that means that the slope is negative. So I crossed out answers C & D. Then, I looked at the slope for answer A and compared it to the graph and the shlope in the graph looks like it didn't go -5/1 (rise/run). Therefore, answer B is correct.

Hope that helps.
