Question

Which statement describes the function shown on the graph

A. The function has a slope of -10 and a y-intercept of 9.

B. The function has a slope of 9 and a y-intercept of -10.

C. The function has a slope of -10 and a y-intercept of 1/9.

D. The function has a slope of 1/9 and y-Intercept of -10

It is not c!

Answer 1

Let’s use process of elimination
Since the y intercept is at (0, y)
It is around -9 and -10
It cannot be A or C
Now for slope, it is moving up at a steep pace. The slope should be positive.
For D, the slope is too little.
Therefore, it has to be B

Solution: B
