Question

Can someone help me Write an equation for this graph?

Answer 1

y = (2/3)x - 1

Explanation:

y = mx + b

m = (y₂ - y₁) ÷ (x₂ - x₁)

m = (1 - (-1)) ÷ (3 - 0)

m = 2 ÷ 3

m = 2/3

Insert slope and one of the points. I'm using (0, -1).

Solve for b.

-1 = (2/3)0 + b

-1 = 0 + b

-1 = b

∴ y = (2/3)x - 1
