In order to determine which function is best represented by the graph, we need to analyze the information provided. However, since there is no graph attached, I can't directly reference its characteristics.
Typically, in linear equations (which are in the form \(y = mx + b\)), \(m\) represents the slope of the line, and \(b\) represents the y-intercept—where the line crosses the y-axis. The slope indicates the steepness and direction of the line (positive slope goes up from left to right, negative slope goes down).
To choose the correct function from the given options, look for:
- The slope represented:
- Is it positive (increasing) or negative (decreasing)?
- The y-intercept:
- Where does the line cross the y-axis?
If you can provide the details about the graph (specifically the slope and y-intercept), I can help identify which function from the options best matches it.
