Which answer does not correctly describe the graph of y = 5x + 12?

a. the line has a constant rate of change
b. the line crosses the y-axis 12 units above the origin
c. the graph contains the point (5,12)
d. the slolpe of the line can be written as 5/1

The graph contains the point (5, 12) does NOT correctly describe the graph of y = 5x + 12

Solution:

Given, linear equation in two variable is y = 5x + 12.

We have to select the option that incorrectly describes about given equation.

Now, we have to check one by one option.

a)  The line has a constant rate of change.

As the given line is an linear equation it will have constant slope. So this option states correctly

b) The line crosses the y-axis 12 units above the origin

When a line crosses y – axis it x value becomes 0 → y = 5(0) + 12 → y = 12

So, the line crosses the y – axis 12 units above the origin, so this option states correctly.

c) The graph contains the point (5, 12)

To contain (5, 12) in that line → 12 - 5(5) + 12 = 0 but -1 ≠ 0  

So, this option is incorrect.

Hence, option c incorrectly describes about the graph.

step-by-step explanation:

we cannot know this, because the other students could have handed out 10 flyers, or they could have handed out 100. one way, the mean would go up, and another way, the mean would go down.
