Answer:


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

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form:
y=mx+c. where m is the slope of the line and c is where the line meets the y-axis.

From the graph:


c=3, we can clearly see that the line crosses the y-axis at (0,3)

Let's get two points from the graph to find m.

Point 1: (0,3)

Point 2: (4,0)


m = (dy)/(dx), where dy is the difference in y and dx is the difference in x.

Therefore, we can put our points into that equation.


(3-0)/(0-4) = -(3)/(4)

So, now we have m and c, we can rewrite the equation
y=mx+c with our values.

This gives us:
y=-(3)/(4) x+3
