Question

question 44 points 2 which graph represents the equation $y = -3x + 1$? graphs 1 - 4 shown \bigcirc graph 1 \bigcirc graph 2 \bigcirc graph 3 \bigcirc graph 4

Explanation:

Step1: Identify slope and y-intercept

The equation $y=-3x+1$ uses slope-intercept form $y=mx+b$, where $m=-3$ (negative slope, line falls left to right) and $b=1$ (y-intercept at $(0,1)$).

Step2: Match to graph

Check graphs: Graph 2 has a negative slope and crosses the y-axis at $(0,1)$, matching the equation.

Answer:

Graph 2
