Given:

The linear equation is:

[tex]2x+2y=2[/tex]

To find:

The statement that best describes the graph of the given linear equation.

Solution:

The slope intercept form of a linear function is:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]            ...(i)

Where, m is the slope anf b is the y-intercept.

We have,

[tex]2x+2y=2[/tex]

It can be written as:

[tex]2y=2-2x[/tex]

[tex]y=\dfrac{2-2x}{2}[/tex]

[tex]y=1-x[/tex]

[tex]y=-x+1[/tex]             (ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

[tex]m=-1,b=1[/tex]

Therefore, the graph has a slope of -1 and a y-intercept of 1. Hence option D is correct.
