Question

What is the equation of this line?

A. y = 2x - 3
B. y = -1/2x - 3
C. y = -2x - 3
D. y = 1/2x - 3

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

X intercept : (3/2 , 0)

Y intercept : (0 , -3)

Slope: m=2

Answer 2

A. y = 2x - 3

Explaination:

It can't be negative because then the slope would be going downward from left to right, this line is going upwards. Also, the steepness of the slope proves it is a slope of 2 because a slope of 1/2 isn't very steep. You can also count 1 unit over and look how much the line changes to find the slope.
