Answer:

  • The equation is y = -4x + 5

Explanation:

Looking at the graph, we can say that the y-intercept is 5. All we need to do now is to find the slope. I took two points (0, 5) and (3, -7)

We know that:

  • Slope formula = Rise/Run
  • Formula = y = mx + b (m = slope; b = y-intercept)

Work

  • => -12/3
  • => Slope = -4

Since the slope is -4, the value of 'm' must be -4.

  • Our equation = y = -4x + 5

Hence, the equation is y = -4x + 5

Hoped this helped.
