Answer:

  • y = 1/2x + ( - 3)

Explanation:

According to the graph, the line has the following intercepts.

  • y - intercept of (0, - 3)
  • x - intercept of (6, 0)

The line equation is:

  • y = mx + b

The slope is:

  • m = (0 - (-3)) / (6 - 0) = 3/6 = 1/2

The line is:

  • y = 1/2x + (- 3)
