The equation of the line in the graph is y = (-4/3)*x + 4

How to find the equation shown in the graph?

We can see a linear qeuation, remember that a general linear equation is written as:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

In the graph we can see that the line intercepts the y-axis at y = 4, then we can write:

y = a*x + 4

We also can see that the line passes through (3, 0), replacing these values we get:

0 = a*3+ 4

-4 = a*4

-4/3 = a

The equation is y = (-4/3)*x + 4
