The graph of `y = 2x-3` will be drawn on this grid.
Which two points will the straight line pass through?
`D`
`text(Solution 1)`
`y = 2x-3\ text(passes through)\ (0, -3)`
`text(with a gradient of 2.)`
`:. A and C`
`text(Solution 2)`
`text{Substitute the coordinates of each point into the equation:}`
`A(-1, -5), \ B(1, -5), \ C(3, 3), \ D(-2, 1)`
`text(Only)\ A and C\ text(satisfy the equation) \ \ y = 2x-3.`
`=>D`
`D`
`y = 2x-2`
`text(By elimination)`
`text(It has a)\ y\ text(intercept of)\ -2`
`=> text(Cannot be)\ B\ text(or)\ C`
`(-1, 0)text{ from}\ A\ text(doesn’t satisfy equation)`
`text(but)\ (1,0)\ text(from)\ D\ text(does)`
`=> D`
