Answer:

-1/3

5

Explanation:

We need to complete

y = mx + b

with a slope, m, and with the y-intercept, b.

From the graph, we see that the line intersects the y-axis at y = 5, so the y-intercept, b, is 5.

We now have y = mx + 5.

Now we need the slope.

We pick two points that are easy to read, (0, 5) and (3, 4).

m = slope = rise/run

To go from (3, 4) to (0, 5), we go up vertically 1 unit. The rise is 1.

Then we go left horizontally 3 units. The run is -3.

m = slope = rise/run = 1/(-3) = -1/3

Now we have the slope, so we can finish.

y = -1/3 x + 5

Answer:

-1/3
