a, x, plus b y, equals b

In the equation above, a and b are constants and 0 is less than a, which is less than b. Which of the following could represent the graph of the equation in the xy-plane?

A.

 

The answer choice presents the graph of a line in the x y-plane. The number 1 is indied on both axes. The line slants downward and to the right, crossing the y axis at 1, and crossing the x axis at 1.

 

B.

 

The answer choice presents the graph of a line in the x y-plane. The number 1 is indied on both axes. The line slants downward and to the right, crossing the x axis at negative 1, and crossing the y axis at negative 1.

 

C.

 

The answer choice presents the graph of a line in the x y-plane. The number 1 is indied on both axes. The line slants downward and to the right, crossing the y axis at 1, and crossing the x axis at 2.

 

D.

 

The answer choice presents the graph of a line in the x y-plane. The number 1 is indied on both axes. The line slants downward and to the right, crossing the y axis at 1, and crossing the x axis at 0 point 5.
