Question

Write the equation of the line in fully simplified slope Intercept form.

Answer 1

y = -0.83x - 2

Explanation:

Slope intercept form is y = mx+b.

M is the slope: In this case the slope (rise/run) is 10/12. However, the slope is decreasing is that would make it negative.

Now we have: y = -0.83x + b

B represents the y-intercept. The y-intercept here is -2. So our final equation is:

y = -0.83x - 2
