Link with questions and solutions posted at http://hopecharter.blogspot.comWhich equation is graphed below?A4
 x y
+ =
 B 28
 x y

 C 28
 x y
+ =
 D28
 x y
− =
 
 
Solution Method 1:
Find the equation of the graphed line and then find which equation matches.The standard form of an equation of a line is
 y mx b
= +
 where
m
is the slope of the line and
b
is the y-intercept.The y-intercept is where the curve crosses the y-axis: 4.To find the slope, m:

 y y ym x x x
−∆= =∆ −
 We need to pick two points on the line. It is easiest to pick points where the graphed linecrosses the x-axis, and crosses the y-axis (since math with 0’s is easier):
( ) ( )( ) ( )
