Question

Can someone pls help me with algebra on number 5

Answer 1

first option

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

calculate m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 8 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, 4 )

m =
`(4-8)/(6-0)` =
`(-4)/(6)` = -
`(2)/(3)`

the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 8 ) ⇒ c = 8 , then

y = -
`(2)/(3)` x + 8 ← option 1
