y=15x−2
y is equal to 1 fifth x minus 2

y=−15x−2
y is equal to negative 1 fifth x minus 2

y=−2x−15
y is equal to negative 2 x minus 1 fifth

y=−5x−2
y is equal to negative 5 x minus 2

Answer 1

To determine the correct equation for the graph, we need more information about the graph's characteristics, such as the slope and the y-intercept. However, based on the options provided, I can help explain each option briefly:

1. **y = 15x - 2**: This represents a line with a steep positive slope (15) and a y-intercept of -2. The line rises sharply as x increases.

2. **y = -15x - 2**: This represents a line with a steep negative slope (-15) and a y-intercept of -2. The line falls sharply as x increases.

3. **y = -2x - 15**: This describes a line with a negative slope (-2) and a y-intercept of -15. The line falls but is not as steep as the previous options.

4. **y = -5x - 2**: This line has a negative slope (-5) and a y-intercept of -2. It also falls but is steeper than the third option.

If you can provide additional details about the graph (such as points it passes through or its slope), I can help you identify which equation is correct.
