Look at the graph shown.

Which equation best represents the line? (4 points)


y = 1 over 3.x − 1

y = 3x − 1

y = −x + 1 over 3.

y = 3x + 1

Look at the graph shown. Which equation best represents the line? (4 points) y = 1 over-example-1

Answer:

y=3x - 1

Explanation:

we are going to base the answer off of the y=mx+b form where m represents slope and b represents the y-intercept.

we know that b must be -1 because the line hits the y-axis when y is -1

this now leaves us with either the first or second choice

we then choose two points to find the slope. I am using (0,-1) and (1,2). If you count the boxes, the y-value increases by 3 as the x-value increases by 1. So the slope is 3/1 or 3.

so then we know the answer is y=3x-1

hope this helps
