Question

What is the slope-intercept equation
for the following line?

Answer 1

`y=-(1)/(2)-3`

Explanation:

Taking any two points, say (0,-3) and (2,-4), we can find the slope using the formula
`(y_1-y_2)/(x_1-x_2)`, which gives

`((-3)-(-4))/(0-2)=-(1)/(2)`.

From the graph, we can see the y-intercept is
`-3`, so the equation of the line is
`y=-(1)/(2)-3`.
