To determine if Annie created her graph of the equation \(3x + y = 10\) correctly, we'll analyze the slope and y-intercept of the line represented by this equation.
-
Rearranging to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b): \[ y = -3x + 10 \] Here, the slope \(m\) is \(-3\), and the y-intercept \(b\) is \(10\).
-
Identifying points on the line:
- The y-intercept is at the point \((0, 10)\), which is correct since the line includes this point.
- To find another point, substitute \(x = 1\) into the equation: \[ y = -3(1) + 10 = -3 + 10 = 7 \] So, another point on the line is \((1, 7)\), which also matches the points given in the original question.
-
Analyzing the slope:
- The slope calculated is \(-3\). The line measured in the illustration is downward slanting, which is consistent with a negative slope.
Since both the points plotted and the slope are checked and found to be correct:
The correct option is: 3 (Yes; Annie's graph is correct.)
