Answer 1

I can't see the graph — could you upload it or give two points on the line (or the y-value at x=0 and one other point)?

How to pick the correct formula from the options:
1. Read the y-intercept b (the y-value when x=0). That tells you the constant term (+5 or −5).
2. Find the slope m = (change in y)/(change in x) using two points on the line. That tells you the coefficient of x (3 or −3).
3. Match m and b to one of the choices:

- b = 5, m = −3 → y = −3x + 5 (choice 1)
- b = −5, m = 3 → y = 3x − 5 (choice 2)
- b = 5, m = 3 → y = 3x + 5 (choice 3)
- b = −5, m = −3 → y = −3x − 5 (choice 4)

If you post the graph or two clear points, I’ll pick the correct formula for you.
