Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image displays a graph with two intersecting lines and a set of equation options to match with the graph. Let's identify the correct equations that represent the two lines.
Steps to Solve:
-
Identify the slopes and y-intercepts:
- The first line has a negative slope, crossing the y-axis at .
- The second line has a positive slope, passing through the origin .
-
Verify with given equations:
- The first line's equation appears to fit the form , where the slope is negative and .
- The second line's equation should have a positive slope , passing through , meaning .
Testing Options:
- Option A (): Has a positive slope (), matching the second line.
- Option B (): Has a slope of and -intercept , matching the first line.
- Option C (): Slope and intercept do not match either line.
- Option D (): Slope is too steep compared to the graph.
- Option E (): Has a positive slope but is too shallow.
Correct Equations:
- (Option A) for the positive-slope line.
- (Option B) for the negative-slope line.
