Step-by-Step Solution
To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:
Step 1: Identify two points from the graph to determine the line's equation.
Step 2: Calculate the slope m.
Step 3: Use the slope to find the y-intercept c.
Step 4: Write the equation of the line Y=mX+c.
Step 5: Check each given table to see which one matches the line's equation.
Let's proceed with these steps:
Step 1: Looking at the graph, we pick two points, let's say (1,1) and (2,2).
Step 2: Calculate the slope: m=2−12−1=1.
Step 3: Use one of the points (1,1) to find the y-intercept: since Y=mX+c, 1=1(1)+c, hence c=0.
Step 4: The line's equation is therefore Y=X.
Step 5: Examine the tables:
Choice 1: X:−1,0,1 and Y:−1,0,1 matches our line Y=X.
Other choices fail this test because they do not satisfy the equation.
Therefore, the correct table that corresponds to the graph is choice 1.
