From the choices given below, choose the equation whose graph is given in Fig. 13.14

(i) y=x+2


(ii) y=x-2


(iii) y=-x+2


(iv) x+2y=6.



[Hint: Clearly, (2,0) and (-1,3) satisfy the equation y=-x+2]

The line passes through (-1, 3) and (2, 0)


(i) y = x + 2


3 = -1 + 2


3 = 1 which is not true


(ii) y = x – 2


3 = -1 – 2


3 = -3 which is not true


(iii) y = -x + 2


3 = 1 + 2


3 = 3


Also, for (2, 0)


0 = -2 + 2


0 = 0


Thus, y = -x + 2 is the equation


(iv) x + 2y = 6


-1 + 6 = 6


5 = 6 which is not true
