Question

which characteristic is not true about the line graphed below? the graph is falling from left to right. the y-intercept is (0, 2). there is one x-intercept.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the line's slope

A line falling from left to right has a negative slope. The graphed line rises from left to right, so its slope is positive. Thus, "The graph is falling from left to right" is false.

Step2: Check y - intercept

The line crosses the y - axis at (0, 2) (by observing the graph), so this statement is true.

Step3: Check x - intercept

A non - vertical, non - horizontal line has exactly one x - intercept (where it crosses the x - axis). The graphed line crosses the x - axis once, so this statement is true.

Answer:

The graph is falling from left to right.
