Answer:
y = - 0.4x -6
Explanation:
The slope-intercept form of a line equation is
y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b the y-intercept where the line crosses the y axis.
From the figure it is clear that the line passes through (0, -6) and therefore the y-intercept is -6
To compute the slope, find another convenient point on the line. Compute the ratio of change in y values(called rise) to the change in x values(called run). This will be the slope
We see that point (10, -10) has been identified on the graph.(Any of the 4 identified points will do, I just chose this)
So two points to consider are (0, -6) and (10, -10)
Change in y values = rise = -10 - (-6) = 1- + 6 = -4
Change in x values = run = 10 - 0 = 10
So slope m = -4/10 = -0.4
Equation of line is y = -0.4x -6
