Question

What is the slope-intercept equation
for the following line?
sostos
y = [?]x +=

Answer 1

y = -1x + 1

Explanation:

Calculate the slope from two points:

I picked (0,1) and (4,-3)

Rise = (-3 - 1) = -4

Run = (1 - 0) = 4

Slope or Rise/Run = -4/4 or -1

y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x = 0). We can find the y-intercept since we have point (0,1). b is 1.

Putting the slope and y-intercept into the equation:

y = -1x + 1

Answer 2

y = -1x + 1

Explanation:

The slope is -1

This is because the graph goes down 1 unit (-1) as it goes to the right 1

Slope is change in y/ change in x or -1/1 or -1

The y - intercept is where the graph touches the y-axis. And this is 1 point above 0.

Slope-intercept form = y = mx + b

m = slope

b = y - intercept

y = -1x + 1
