Question

Which choice is the slope intercept equation of the line shown below

Answer 1

Choice C y = -3x - 4

Explanation:

slope is negative (line slants down), so you can toss out answer D.

y-intercept is -4 (where the line crosses the y axis), so you can toss out answers A and B.

That leaves C as the right answer.

Just to prove that the slope = -3, calculate it:

y = (-4-2) / (0--2) = -6/2 = -3
