Answer:

y = -6/5x + 36/5 (3rd choice down)

Explanation:

Find the slope of the line by choosing 2 points ON THE LINE: (1,6) and (6,0)

slope = m = Δy/Δx = (0-6) / (6-1) = -6/5

Now use the point (1,6) in the point-intercept form to find b, the y-intercept:

(y-y1) = m(x-x1)

y - 6 = -6/5(x - 1)

y - 6 = -6/5x + 6/5

y = -6/5x + 6/5 + 6

y = -6/5x + 36/5

quick answer: the line slants down, therefore it has a negative slope; the only choice with a negative slope is the 3rd one down
