Answer 1

The linear equation in slope-intercept form is written as:

y = (-3/2)x

How to write the linear equation?

Remember that the slope-intercept form of a linear equation is:

y = a*X + b

First let's find the value of b, we to find it, just check at which value of y does the graph intercept the y-axis.

Here we can see that it happens at y = 0.

y = a*x + 0

y = a*x

Now to find the value of a, we need to find a point in the line. We can see that it passes through (-2, 3), then:

3 = a*-2

Solving for a:

3/-2 = a

-3/2 = a

The linear equation is:

y = (-3/2)x
