The equation of the line is written as y = -x/4 + 3.
How to write the equation of the line?
The equation of the line is written by applying the following method as shown below;
y = mx + c
where;
- m is the slope of the line
- c is the y - intercept of the line
The slope of the line is calculated as follows;
m = Δy / Δx
m = ( 1 - 3 ) / (8 - 0)
m = - 2 / 8
m = - 1/4
The y - intercept of the line is equal to 3.
The equation of the line becomes; y = -x/4 + 3
