Question

Use the graph to write a linear function that relates y to x.

y=

Answer 1

y= -3x+1

Explanation:

y=mx+b

find m: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

pick any two points: (-1,4) and (0,1)

plug them in: (4-1)/(-1-0)= -3=m

b is the y intercept which is 1=b

plug these into the equation for a line y=mx+b

y=-3x+1
