algebraWhich graph corresponds to ?
A
Line falling from left to right, crossing y-axis at 2
B
Line rising from left to right, crossing y-axis at 2
C
Line falling from left to right, crossing y-axis at -2
D
Line rising from left to right, crossing y-axis at -2
Correct Answer: A
Choice A is the correct answer. Analyze slope and intercept.
- Slope: (Negative). The line must go down (fall) from left to right.
- Y-intercept: . The line must cross the vertical axis at .
💡 Strategic Tip: Negative slope = Downhill. Positive slope = Uphill.
Choice B is incorrect because it has a positive slope. Choice C is incorrect because it has the wrong y-intercept. Choice D is incorrect because it has positive slope and wrong intercept.
