Answer: y = -3x + 10

Explanation:

Slope-Intercept is written as y = mx + c : m represents the slope and c represents the y-intercept.

On this graph, we see that the line crosses the y-axis when y = 10, meaning we can replace c with positive 10: y = mx + 10.

Now we need to find the slope. In order to this, we need to use a formula:


m=(y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)

We will need to choose two coordinates for this, I will be using the coordinates (0, 10) and (1, 7). We can then plug the appropriate values in:


m = (7 - 10)/(1 - 0) = (-3)/(1) = -3

Now we can replace the m in the equation with -3, so we will not get:

y = -3x + 10

Hope this helps.
