Explanation:

Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The line has a y-intercept of 40 (in agreement with all answer choices). It goes through the point (6, 30), so has a "rise" of -10 for a "run" of 6. The slope is ...

m = rise/run = -10/6 = -5/3

The equation with a slope of -5/3 is the one shown in choice B.
