Question

Which graph represents the equation y=34x−3?

Answer 1

Answer:

The graph in the top right hand corner.

Hope this helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula y = mx + b

shows that m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

m = 34

b = - 3

So to find the equation of the graph I looked at the y-intercept which is -3 and the graph in the right hand corner has a y-inyercept of -3 so that graph represents the equation y = 34x - 3

Answer 2

Answer:  Upper right corner

Reason:

The equation is y = (3/4)x - 3 which is in y = mx+b form

m = slope = 3/4

b = -3 = y intercept

The y intercept of -3 means the point (0,-3) is on the line. Start at this point and go up 3, then to the right 4 to arrive at (4,0) which is the x intercept. The motion "up 3, right 4" is directly from the slope 3/4

slope = rise/run = 3/4

rise = 3 = go up 3

run = 4 = go right 4
