Question

here's a graph of a linear function write the equation that describes the function express it in slope-intercept form

Answer 1

y = 3/4 x - 3

Explanation:

the slope of a line is the factor of x in the equation and is expressed as ratio of y/x : defining how many units y changes, when x changes a certain number of units.

in our graph here we can see that when increasing x from e.g. 0 to 4 (the x-axis intercept point, a change of +4), y changes from -3 to 0 (a change of +3).

so, the slope and factor of x is y/x = 3/4

and for x=0 we get y=-3 as y-axis intercept point.

so, the line equation is

y = 3/4 x - 3
