Study the graph given below. Choose the equation whose graph is given:

(i) y = x (ii) y = 2x


(iii) y = 2x + 1 (iv) x + y = 0



To find the correct answer, we will try all the options.


There are two points given,


A = (1, 3) and B = ( – 1, – 1)


We will put them in all the equations and check whether they satisfy or not.


(i) y = x


When x = 1 then, y = x


y = 1 ≠ 3


So it does not satisfy y = x


Therefore, the graph does not satisfy y = x


(ii) y = 2x


When x = 1 then, y = 2x


y = 2 × 1


y = 2 ≠ 3


So it does not satisfy y = 2x


Therefore, the graph does not satisfy y = 2x


(iii) y = 2x + 1


When x = 1 then, y = 2x + 1


y = 2 × 1 + 1


y = 2 + 1


y = 3


So it satisfies y = 2x


Now When x = – 1 then, y = 2x + 1


y = 2 × – 1 + 1


y = – 2 + 1


y = – 1


So it also satisfies y = 2x


Therefore, the graph satisfies y = 2x + 1


(iv) x + y = 0


When x = 1 then, y = – x


y = – 1 ≠ 3


So it does not satisfy x + y = 0


Therefore, the graph does not satisfy x + y = 0
