Question: Which of the following linear systems matches with the graph?



A ) y = x - 2, 4y = x + 12
B ) y = -x - 2, 4y = x - 12
C ) y = -x + 2, 4y = x - 12
D ) y = x + 2, 4y = x - 12

Steps to derive

1 To find the equation of a line, the y-intercept and the slope of the line are needed.

2 From the graph the y-intercept of line A is 2 and the line is passing through the points (2,0) and (0,2).

3 So, the slope of line A = (2-0)(0-2) = -1
 [Slope = difference between y-coordinates / difference between x-coordinates]

4 The equation of the line A is y = -x + 2.
 [Substitute slope and y-intercept of line A in the equation y = mx + b]

5 From the graph, line B is passing through the points (4,-2) and (0,-3) and the y-intercept of line B is -3.

6 Slope of line B = -3-(-2)0-4 = 14
 [Slope = difference between y-coordintes / difference between x-coordinates]

7 The equation of the line B is y = 14x - 3 .
 [Substitute slope and y-intercept of the line B in the equation y = mx + b]

 [Simplify.]
8 4y = x - 12

9 The linear system is y = -x + 2, 4y = x - 12.



Hence the right answer is Option C
