Question

Which equation represents the graphed function?

Answer 1

Explanation:

y= -2x + 3

Answer 2

y = -2x + 3

Explanation:

The three is the y-intercept, so when x=0, y will equal 3. (0,3)

The slope is negative (-2x), because the minus is present infront of x. So the line's going down.

And we can confirm that it's the function

y = -2x + 3 by letting one point in the line from the graph enter the function.

For example (1,1)

1 = -2x + 3. (let y = 1.)

1 = -2(1) + 3 (let x = 1)

1 = 1

so we can see when we let 1 = -2(1) + 3 it equals the y value on the line.
