Question

Help please I forgot how to do this cuz I’m in geometry but they give us algebra questions to practice with sometimes

Answer 1

• y = - 2x - 1

--------------------------------------

As per table we see:

• The y-coordinates decrease at a rate of - 2, it is representing the slope of the line.

To find the y-intercept we add 2 to the value of y = - 3 when x = 1, it will represent y = - 1 at x = 0.

The slope-intercept form is:

• y = mx + b, where m is the slope, which is - 2 and b is the y-intercept, which is - 1.

After plugging in the values of m and b the line becomes :

• y = - 2x - 1
