Math Problem Statement
In the xy-plane, the graph of which of the following equations is a line with a slope of 3?
Solution
To determine which of the given equations has a line with a slope of 3, we can recall the slope-intercept form of a linear equation:
In this equation, represents the slope, and is the y-intercept.
Let's check the slope for each option:
- A) : The slope here is , not 3.
- B) : The slope here is , not 3.
- C) : The slope here is , which matches the required slope.
- D) : The slope here is , not 3.
Thus, the correct answer is C) .
