Question

Someone plz help what do I do?

Answer 1

y = -½x + 7

Explanation:

To write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, find the slope value (m) and the y-intercept value (b).

Using any two points on the line, say (0, 7) and (2, 6):

`slope (m) = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1) = (6 - 7)/(2 - 0) = (-1)/(2)`

Slope (m) = -½

y-intercept (b) = 7 (this is where the y-axis is cut across by the line)

To write the equation, substitute m = -½, and b = 7 into y = mx + b.

Thus:

y = -½x + 7
