Question

Which of the following equations correctly describes the graphed line?y = -1/2x - 5y = -1/2x + 5y = 1/2x + 5y = 1/2x - 5

Answer 1

We can see in the graph that the y-intercept is equal to +5. According to that, the correct options could be second and third options.

The line has a positive slope and the third option has a positive slope (1/2), therefore, this is the correct answer. (Since the second option has a negative slope (-1/2)).

The answer is y= 1/2x + 5
