Question

Write an equation that represents the line.
Use exact numbers.

Answer 1

y = -4/3x - 1

Explanation:

Points on the graph: (0, -1) and (3, -5)

Slope:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=( -5+1)/(3-0)

m=(-4)/3

m= -4/3

Slope-intercept:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y + 1 = -4/3(x - 0)

y + 1 = -4/3x

y = -4/3x - 1
