Answer:
B. y=1/2x-5
Step-by-step explanation:
From the graph, we read the slope of line JK.
slope = rise/run = -3/-6 = 1/2
The equation we need has the same slope.
y = mx + b
y = (1/2)x + b
It passes through point P(6, -2). Now we find b.
-2 = (1/2)(6) + b
-2 = 3 + b
b = -5
The equation is
y = (1/2)x - 5
...... ....as i said,b = 17
