Answer:

y = -1/2x +4

Explanation:

The y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis, at y=4.

The slope is found by following the line to the right until it meets another grid line crossing point. That is 2 units to the right and down 1 unit.

The slope is ...

m = "rise"/"run" = -1/2

Then the slope-intercept equation is ...

y = mx + b . . . . . slope m, y-intercept b

y = -1/2x +4
