Answer:
y = -1/2x + 5
Explanation:
First, we need to find the slope. Slope is nothing but the height of the triangle over the length of the triangle. Since the height is 5 is the length is 10, the slope should be 5/10. But, since the line is slanting downwards, the slope is negative. So it is -5/10, or -1/2 when simplified. Next, we need to find the y intercept. Y intercept is nothing but where the line crosses the y axis, so the y intercept should be 5. The slope intercept is y = mx+b, where m is the slope and y intercept is b, so our equation should be y = -1/2x + 5.
The reason that we are not counting the individual squares is because they already labeled the graph. So, we have to count accordingly.
