Use the image to answer the question.

A coordinate plane shows the x-axis ranging from negative 9 to 9 in increments of 1 and the y-axis ranging from 11 to negative 11 in increments of 1. A line with arrows at both ends joins two plotted points.
The coordinates of the plotted points are as follows: left parenthesis 0 comma 3 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 3 comma 2 right parenthesis.

To determine if the graph of the line given by the equation \( y = -13x + 4 \) is correct based on the plotted points \( (0, 3) \) and \( (3, 2) \), we need to analyze the equation and its intercepts.

  1. Y-intercept: For the equation \( y = -13x + 4 \), the y-intercept (where \( x = 0 \)) is at \( y = 4 \). Thus, the y-intercept is \( (0, 4) \).

  2. Slope: The slope of the line from the equation \( y = -13x + 4 \) is -13, which indicates that the line has a negative slope.

Now examining the plotted points:

  • The point \( (0, 3) \) is given, but it does not match the y-intercept we calculated (which is \( (0, 4) \)).
  • The slope calculated using the two points \( (0, 3) \) and \( (3, 2) \) is positive. Specifically, the change in \( y \) per change in \( x \) would be \( \Delta y = 2 - 3 = -1 \) and \( \Delta x = 3 - 0 = 3 \), giving a slope of \( -\frac{1}{3} \).

From this analysis, the correct answer based on the information about the plotted points and the graph of \( y = -13x + 4 \) is:

No, it is not the correct graph because this graph used (0,3) as the y-intercept.
