Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is:


y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

In this graph, the y-intercept is -60 (which is the point where the line intersects the y-axis).

For now we have:


y=mx-60

To find the slope we need one more point on the line. We can see that the line intersects the x-axis at x = 60, so the intersection points with the axis are (0, -60) the y-intercept and (60, 0) the x-intercept.

The formula for the slope of a line that has points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is:


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

For this line, using the intercept points:


m=(0-(-60))/(60-0)=(60)/(60)=1

The slope is 1

Answer:

The equation is y = x - 60
