Question

Identify the graphed linear equation.

A) y = 5x + 2 y = 5x + 2
B) y = 5x - 2 y = 5x - 2
C) y = -5x + 2 y = -5x + 2
D) y = -5x - 2 y = -5x - 2

Answer 1

Option (D)

Explanation:

Let the equation of the given line is,

y = mx + b

m = slope of the line

b = y-intercept

From the graph attached,

Slope 'm' =
`\frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}}`

m =
`(-5)/(1)` = -5

y-intercept of the given line = -2

Therefore, equation will be,

y = -5x - 2

Option (D) is the correct option.
