Given the following question:

To write the graph as a equation we will use the formula for slope intercept

y = mx + b

First find the y intercept:

y = 700

x = 0 (x always equals zero)

b = 700

Which means the options are rather A or B since b = 700

Now we have to find the slope, the slope is the change of y divided by the change of x:

x = -3

Your answer is option A or y = -3x + 700
