To determine whether the provided graph of the equation 3xy=10 is correct, we first convert the equation to slope-intercept form (y=mx+b), where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Starting with the equation: 3xy=10

We can rearrange this to solve for y: y=3x+10 y=3x10

From this form, we can identify:

  • The slope m=3
  • The y-intercept b=10, which gives the point (0,10)

Now, let's evaluate the responses:

  1. "No, it is not the correct graph because the slope is −3 and the y-intercept is (0, −10)." - Incorrect, the slope is 3, not 3.
  2. "No, it is not the correct graph because the slope is negative 3 and the y-intercept is left parenthesis 0 comma negative 10 right parenthesis." - Incorrect, the slope is 3.
  3. "Yes, it is the correct graph because the slope is 3 and the y-intercept is (0, −10)." - Correct.
  4. "Yes, it is the correct graph because the slope is 3 and the y-intercept is left parenthesis 0 comma negative 10 right parenthesis." - Correct.
  5. "Yes, it is the correct graph because the slope is −3 and the y-intercept is (0, −10)." - Incorrect, the slope is 3.
  6. "Yes, it is the correct graph because the slope is negative 3 and the y-intercept is left parenthesis 0 comma negative 10 right parenthesis." - Incorrect, the slope is 3.
  7. "No, it is not the correct graph because the slope is 3 and the y-intercept is (0, −10)." - Incorrect, the slope and y-intercept stated are correct.
  8. "No, it is not the correct graph because the slope is 3 and the y-intercept is left parenthesis 0 comma negative 10 right parenthesis." - Incorrect, the slope and y-intercept stated are correct.

The correct responses are 3 and 4: "Yes, it is the correct graph because the slope is 3 and the y-intercept is (0, −10)." and "Yes, it is the correct graph because the slope is 3 and the y-intercept is left parenthesis 0 comma negative 10 right parenthesis."
