Answer:

y = -2x + 4

Explanation:

To write an equation in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, we need to find the slope (m) and the y-intercept (b).

✔️Slope (m) using two pairs of values, (0, 4) and (1, 2):

Slope (m) = change in y/change in x

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

m = -2

✔️y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0. Therefore, fromm the table, when x = 0, y = 4.

y-intercept (b) = 4

✅Write the equation by substituting m = -2 and b = 4 into y = mx + b:

Thus,

y = -2x + 4
