Answer: y=-3/4x+2

Explanation:

Use rise over run, which is a method you use to find the slope. you find out how much the y value has changed over x.

Take the two points in the graph, (0, 2) and (4, -1). then you want to find the difference in the x and y.

X: 0 - 4 = -4

Y: 2 - (-1) = 3

Then do the equation y/x.

3/-4 = -3/4

That's the slope. Now locate the point at x=0.

The point is already given (0, 2). This is the y-intercept.

Plug in the slope and y-intercept into y=mx+b.

y=-3/4x+2
