Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows a coordinate plane with four quadrants. The x and y axes range from negative 10 to 10 in one unit increments. A downward slanting line is graphed on the coordinate plane. The downward slanting line passes through closed points plotted at left parenthesis 0 comma 10 right parenthesis and left parenthesis 1 comma 7 right parenthesis.

Annie has created a graph of 3x+y=10
on the coordinate plane. Did Annie create her graph correctly?

Option 1: No; Annie's y
-intercept is correct but her slope is incorrect.

Option 2: No; Annie's slope is correct but her y
-intercept is incorrect.

Option 3: Yes; Annie's graph is correct.

Enter "1" for Option 1, "2" for Option 2, or "3" for Option 3.

To determine if Annie's graph of the equation 3x+y=10 is correct, we need to find the y-intercept and the slope of this equation, and then compare it to the graph described.

  1. Rearranging the equation 3x+y=10 into slope-intercept form y=mx+b: y=−3x+10

From this equation:

  • The slope m is −3.
  • The y-intercept b is 10 (the point where the line crosses the y-axis).
  1. The graph described has closed points at (0,10) and (1,7).
  • The point (0,10) is indeed the y-intercept, which confirms that the y-intercept is correct.
  • The point (1,7) indicates that when x=1, y=7.

Now, let's check the slope between the points:

  • The change in y between (0,10) and (1,7) is: 7−10=−3
  • The change in x is: 1−0=1

The slope m calculated from these points is: m=ΔyΔx=−31=−3

  1. Since both the y-intercept and the slope calculated from the points on the graph match those of the equation 3x+y=10, Annie's graph is correct.

Therefore, the correct option is:

Option 3: Yes; Annie's graph is correct.

So, enter "3".
