To determine whether the graph given corresponds to the equation \( y = -13x + 4 \), we can analyze the slope and y-intercept.
-
Y-Intercept: The y-intercept of the equation \( y = -13x + 4 \) is \( 4 \). Therefore, the point \( (0, 4) \) should be on the graph of the line.
-
Point Analysis: The points plotted on the graph are \( (0, 3) \) and \( (3, 2) \). The y-coordinate of the point \( (0, 3) \) indicates that this graph uses \( (0, 3) \) as a y-intercept instead of \( (0, 4) \).
-
Slope Calculation: To calculate the slope between the two given points \( (0, 3) \) and \( (3, 2) \):
- Slope \( m \) is given by \( m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{2 - 3}{3 - 0} = \frac{-1}{3} \).
Since the slope is negative, this does not match the slope of \( -13 \), which is significantly steeper.
Given this information, we can conclude that the graph described does not accurately represent the equation \( y = -13x + 4 \). Consequently, the correct response is:
No, it is not the correct graph because this graph used (0, 3) as the y-intercept.
