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

Answer 1

To determine the appropriate equation for the graph, we need to identify the characteristics of the line depicted, such as the slope and the y-intercept. Without a visual reference, I can't definitively choose the correct equation. However, I can guide you through the analysis.

1. **Slope (m)**: This number indicates how steep the graph is. It can be positive (upward slope) or negative (downward slope).

2. **Y-intercept (b)**: This is where the line crosses the y-axis (the value of y when x = 0).

Given the options:
- **y = -5x - 2**: This has a slope of -5 and a y-intercept of -2.
- **y = 15x - 2**: This has a slope of 15 and a y-intercept of -2.
- **y = -15x - 2**: This has a slope of -15 and a y-intercept of -2.
- **y = -2x - 15**: This has a slope of -2 and a y-intercept of -15.

Please check the graph to find the slope and y-intercept, then compare them to these equations to find the correct match.
