Let's assume

independent variable is x

dependent variable is h

A linear function h models a relationship in which the dependent variable increases 1 unit for every 5 units the independent variable decreases.

so, we can use formula of linear function


h=mx+b

where

m is slope


m=-(1)/(5)

now, we can plug values


h=-(1)/(5)x+b

The value of the function at 0 is 3

so, at x=0 , h=3

we can use it and find b


3=-(1)/(5)*0+b


b=3

now, we can plug back


h=-(1)/(5)x+3

now, we can draw graph
