I REALLY NEED HELP QUICK!

Answer 1

y=1/2x-5

Explanation:

From the picture you can see that (0, -5) is a point on the function and that (2, -4) is another point. Using these you can find the slope of the function with the equation

`(y_(2) -y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

We can substitute in the points so it looks like

`(-4--5)/(2-0)` or
`1/2` which is the slope of the function

Now, since the y-intercept is (0, -5) on the graph, the b part in the slope-intercept form of the equation would be -5, leaving us with the equation y=1/2x-5
