Answer:

y = -2/5x - 6

Explanation:

Slope intercept follows the y = mx + b, which m is the slope, and b is the y intercept.

1. Find the slope:

The formula for slope is the change in y/ over the change in x. Or you can say rise/run.

In other words you can take any of those 2 dots, first count them to the other dot, which is -2, then count horizontally, which is 5, so the slope is -2/5

Another way:

Another way is to take any two points, like (-10, -2), and (-5, -4).

Then we can do -4 -(-2)/-5 -(-10), which is -2/5.

So the equation we have so far is y = -2/5x + b

2.Find the y intercept

Based on the graph, the y intercept is -6, so we get

y = -2/5x - 6
