Question

Write an equation for line M please and thank you!!!

Answer 1

y = -2x + 4

Explanation:

Lets write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form. We need to find two things:

1) the y-intercept. When can find this by simply finding what y is equal to when x is 0. Taking a quick look, we can find that it is 4

2) the slope. To find the slope, we simply take the rate of change, or rise over run. Taking the section where x is between 0 and 2, we have, 4/2 = 2.

However, the line is moving downwards, so its a negative slope. This means the actual slope is -2.

Finally, slope-intercept form tells us that the line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.

Therefore, the answer is:

y = -2x + 4

Answer 2

y = -2x + 4

Explanation:

First, find the slope by doing rise over run. I did this between the points (0, 4) and (2,0) This gives you -4/2 = -2.

Then, find the y-intercept, which is where the line goes through the y axis. This is at y = 4.

So, the equation is y = -2x + 4.
