Given an equation y=-3x +5, explain the steps for using slope-intercept form to graph this equation.

A.Use the y-intercept to plot the point (0,5). Then, using the y-intercept as a reference point move left 3 units and up 1 unit, and plot a second point.
B. Use the y-intercept to plot the point (5,0). Then, using the y-intercept as a reference point, move right 3 units and up 1 unit , and plot a second point.
C.Use the y-intercept to plot the point (5,0). Then, using the y-intercept as a reference point, move left 3 units and up 1 unit, and plot a second point.
D. Use the y-intercept to plot the point (0,5). Then using the y-intercept as a reference point, move left 1 unit and up 3 units, and plot a second point​

Answer:

A.Use the y-intercept to plot the point (0,5). Then, using the y-intercept as a reference point move left 3 units and up 1 unit, and plot a second point.

Explanation:

5 is the y intercept, so 0,5 is where you would start and then 3 is the same as 3/1 so you go up 3 over 1.

Hope this helps!
