y= -3x - 2
Step-by-step:
The points graphed are (0,-2) and (-1,1)
We can see that the point goes up by 3 and left by 1. Because the line is in hemispheres 2 and 4 mostly, it is a negative line.
The equation to find the coefficient of the variable x is rise/run. The line rises up three, and runs left negative. This makes that equation 3/-1, or simply -3 when simplified.
To find the term, we have to find where the line crosses the y axis. That’s when the x value of the point is 0. (0,-2) is where the line crosses the x axis, making the term -2.
So, y= -3x - 2
