Question

Hey everyone! Anybody think they can help me out with this problem? Read the instructions carefully because they might be confusing. I don't need a huge explanation but something brief leading to the answer but also explaining it.

Answer 1

First, notice that the line has negative slope, since it is decreasing, then, we have that the relationship is inverse.

Now, we have that the line passes through the points (3,-2) and (-3,2), then, we can calculate the slope using the general formula:

`\begin{gathered} m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ \Rightarrow m=(2-(-2))/(-3-3)=(4)/(-6)=-(2)/(3) \end{gathered}`

therefore, the equation is y = -2/3
