F.y=x

Answer 1

D. y=-1/5(x)

Explanation:

To find the equation of a line, use the formula y=mx+b, where x and y represent your x and y coordinates, m is your slope and b is your y-intercept.

b is you y-intercept, this is where the line cuts the y-axis. We can see from the graph that the line cuts the y-axis at (0,0), so c=0.

Now we have y=mx

Sub in one of our points (10,-2):

-2=m10

m=-1/5

So our equation looks like this:

y=-1/5(x)
