Answer:

Option 1

Explanation:

-6 is the slope, another way this slope can be written is rise over run, or
(-6)/(1).

Because the y value is decreasing the slope is negative. Also, 3 is the

y-intercept, meaning it crosses the y axis on the graph. Put this together and it shows option 1 is correct

Answer:

Option 1

Explanation:

(I have limited time so am putting the explanation in numbers)

y = -6x(Slope) + 3(y-int.)

Find x

3 + -6x = y

-3 -3

-----------------

-6x=y-3

-6x/6 = y - 3/6

x = y - 3/ 6

The closest graph to this would be the first one.

Hope this helps :)
