Answer:
y = 4/5x -4
Explanation:
slope intercept form: y=mx + b
where slope = m and b = y-intercept
Finding slope: slope = rise/run
Begin by finding two places where the line neatly crosses the grid. The two noticeable places are at (0,-4) and (5,0).
As a note, ordered pairs are written in this format: (x,y)
to fund slope we will find:
slope = the change in rise/ change in run
slope = change in y/change in x
slope = (-4 - 0)/(0-5)
slope = -4/-5
slope = 4/5
y-intercept occurs when x = 0. When x = 0, y = -4
so in the ordered pair format, the y-intercept is (0,-4)
Insert information into the slope intercept form: y=mx + b
y = 4/5x + (-4)
so:
y = 4/5x -4
