Answer:

Explanation:

Check to see if the statements are true or false, one at a time.

WZ has the same slope as XY. Look at the rise and the run in this case "Down 1, over 1; down 1, over 1" for both lines, so that's true.

YX (down1, over1) has a slope of -1. ZY (up1, over1) has a slope of +1. (trick question! Same slope but opposite values. In any case YX is not greater.)

WY has a slope "up 1 over 3" or 1/3. Compare it to YZ "up 1, over 1," or 1/1 . So WY is not as steep as YZ, so true.

Y-intercept should be easy! Two lines cross the y-axis at the same point. They are ZW and YZ meeting at Z= -3. So that's True.

XY's y-intercept is 3. XW's is 2. 3 is not less than 2, so that one is false.

I think the point of this question is to see if you understand slopes and intercepts. I hope this helps. ( It would be less confusing if we could see Y in the graph, ans if the lines were always identified consistently-- not ZW then WZ or YX then XY! )
