Since there are no numbers on the graph, the exact equation of the line cannot be determined, but the line has a negative slope (it points down when
reading from left to right) and a positive y-intercept (it crosses the y-axis
above the origin).
Change the answers to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b, where m = slope and
b = y-intercept). First note that (D) and (E) cannot be the answers—choice
(D) represents a horizontal line crossing through (0, 2), and choice (E)
represents a vertical line passing through (–2, 0).
The only choice with a negative slope and a positive y-intercept is choice (A).
