Question

Which answer does NOT correctly describe the graph of y = 5x + 12?

A. The line has a constant rate of change
B. The line crosses the y-axis 12 units above the origin.
C. The graph contains the point (5, 12).
D. The slope of the line can be written as 5/1.

Answer 1

The point (5,12) do not make the statement true, constraining the x and y values. So, C would NOT correctly describe this.

Answer 2

C is your answer.

The point (5,12) does not make the equation true when the x and y values are substituted. Therefore, C doesn't describe the graph of the line above.
