URGENT, PLEASE HELP! (3/5) -50 POINTS- !please no wrong answers for the points.! A) [tex]y = \frac{9}{2} x + \frac{1}{2}[/tex] B) [tex]y = - \frac{1}{2} x + \frac{7}{2}[/tex] C) [tex]y = -4x + 9[/tex] D) [tex]y = 4x + 15[/tex]
Answer:
B y = -1/2x + 7/2
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that it has a negative slope since the points go from the top left to the bottom right
We can eliminate A and D
The y intercept is where it crosses the y axis
It should cross somewhere between 2 and 4
C has a y intercept of 9 which is too big
Lets verify with a point
x = -4
y = -4(-4)+9 = 16+9 = 25 (-4,25) not even close to being near the points on the graph
checking B
y = -1/2 (-4) +7/2
= 2 + 7/2 = 11/2 = 5.5 it seems reasonable
Answer:
[tex]\Large \boxed{y=-\frac{1}{2} x+\frac{7}{2} }[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Using a graph,
we can see that the line y = -1/2x + 7/2 best fits for the data.
