Q. Which equation is best represented by this graph?y+2=57(x+7)y−2=57(x−7)y+2=75(x+7)y−2=75(x−7)
Identify y-intercept: Look at the y-intercept of the graph. It's either +2 or −2. If the graph crosses the y-axis above the origin, it's +2; if below, it's −2.
Determine slope: Check the slope of the line. The slope is the coefficient of x. It's either (7/5) or (5/7). If the line is steeper, the slope is (7/5); if less steep, it's (5/7).
Match y-intercept and slope: Match the y-intercept and slope to the equations. If the y-intercept is +2 and the slope is (7/5), the equation is y+2=57(x+7). If the y-intercept is −2 and the slope is (7/5), the equation is y−2=57(x−7). If the y-intercept is +2 and the slope is (5/7), the equation is y+2=75(x+7). If the y-intercept is −2 and the slope is (5/7), the equation is (7/5)1.
Select correct equation: Choose the correct equation based on the graph's y-intercept and slope. If the graph has a y-intercept of +2 and a slope of 57, the correct equation is y+2=57(x+7).
