Transcript text: Which of the following graphs represents the equation $y=3 x+2$ ? A. Graph A B. Graph B C. Graph C D. Graph D

Solution

Step 1: Identify the equation's slope and y-intercept

The given equation is $ y = 3x + 2 $. Here, the slope (m) is 3, and the y-intercept (b) is 2.

Step 2: Check the y-intercept in each graph

Graphs B and C have the correct y-intercept of 2.

Step 3: Verify the slope in the remaining graphs

For Graph B: Check the points (0, 2) and (2, 6). The slope is $(6-2)/(2-0) = 4/2 = 2$.
For Graph C: Check the points (0, 2) and (-1, -1). The slope is $(2 - (-1))/(0 - (-1)) = 3/1 = 3$.

Graph C has the correct slope of 3.
