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 mm.
  • Step 3: Use the slope to find the y-intercept cc.
  • Step 4: Write the equation of the line Y=mX+cY = 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)(1, 1) and (2,2)(2, 2).
Step 2: Calculate the slope: m=2121=1m = \frac{2 - 1}{2 - 1} = 1.
Step 3: Use one of the points (1,1)(1, 1) to find the y-intercept: since Y=mX+cY = mX + c, 1=1(1)+c1 = 1(1) + c, hence c=0c = 0.
Step 4: The line's equation is therefore Y=XY = X.
Step 5: Examine the tables:

  • Choice 1: X:1,0,1X: -1, 0, 1 and Y:1,0,1Y: -1, 0, 1 matches our line Y=XY = 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.
