The line represented by the equation 3x + 5y = 2 has a slope of negative StartFraction 3 Over 5 EndFraction.. Which shows the graph of this equation?

A coordinate plane with a line passing through (negative 5, negative 4), (0, negative 1), and (3, 1).

A coordinate plane with a line passing through (negative 1, 1) and (4, negative 2).

A coordinate plane with a line passing through (0, 1) and (3, negative 4).

Answer:

B

Explanation:

3x + 5y = 2

m=-3/5

lets plug in the coordinates of the 4 options into the equation to find which is right

A:

3x + 5y = 2

3*(-5)+5*(-4)=2

-15-20=2

-35
\\eq2, if one point doesn't work, this option doesn't work, no need to proceed in it

B:

3x + 5y = 2

3(-1) + 5*1 = 2

-3+5=2

2=2

3x + 5y = 2

3*4 + 5*(-2) = 2

12-10=2

2=2

since this option works, this is the answer and we don't need to proceed to options C and D, since we need only one answer in a multiple choice unless specified to chose more than one
