  1. A

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

  2. B

    The answer choice presents the graph of a line in the x y-plane. The number 1 is indicated 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.

  3. C

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

  4. D
