Answer:

Graph C

Explanation:

Hi there!

The given linear equations are organized in slope-intercept form:
y=mx+b where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept, or the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis.

y = 2x + 4

Here, the b value is 4. Therefore, the y-intercept of this line is 4.

y = -3x - 2

Here, the b value is -2. Therefore, the y-intercept of this line is -2.

To identify the graph that models these equations, we just have to look for the graph where the lines cross the y-axis at 4 and -2.

The only graph that does this is graph C.

I hope this helps!
