Answer:

f(x) = -5/2x + 4

Explanation:

First, you need to put the correct numbers in slope intercept form which is y = mx + b

m = slope

b = y intercept

b = 4

We have 2 points which is 2, -1.

Do the steps below:

Subtract 4 and then divide by 2 to each side of the equation.

The slope-intercept form:


y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept → (0, b)

From the graph we have the y-intercept 4. Therefore


y=mx+4

Find other point → (2, -1). Put the coordinates of the point to the equation.

y = -1 and x = 2:


-1=2m+4 subtract 4 from both sides


-5=2n divide both sides by 2


-(5)/(2)m

Answer:
f(x)=-(5)/(2)x+4
