`A`

Show Worked Solution

`text{Graph passes through (0, 11) and (5.5, 0)}`

`text(Gradient)` `=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`  
  `=(11-0)/(0-5.5)`  
  `=-2`  

`:.\ text(Equation is:)\ \ y = 11 – 2x`

`=> A`

The graph shows a line which has an equation in the form  `y = mx + c`.
 

Which of the following statements is true?

  1. `m` is positive and `c` is negative
  2. `m` is negative and `c` is positive
  3. `m` and `c` are both positive
  4. `m` and `c` are both negative

`=> A`

Show Worked Solution

`m` is the gradient and the line slopes to the right so `m` is positive.

`c` is the `y`-intercept which is negative.

`:.\ m` is positive and `c` is negative.
