Answer:

y = [-½]x + [-5]

Explanation:

Equation describing how x and y are related can be written in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b.

m = slope = ∆y/∆x

Using two pairs of values from the table, (-2, -4) and (0, -5),

Slope (m) = (-5 - (-4))/(0 - (-2)) = -1/2

m = -½

b = y-intercept = the value of y when x is 0 = -5

b = -5

✔️To write the equation, substitute m = -½ and b = -5 into y = mx + b

Thus:

y = [-½]x + [-5]
