Question

Write the equation for the graph of the line

Answer 1

Answer: Hope this explains everything for you!

y= -2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

y= 2x-1 is wrong

First, we will start by identifying the y-int, the y-int is when x is zero. The y-int is 3 since when x is 0, y is 3, (0,3).

y= 2x+3 (So that means -1 is actually 3)

Plus even if your slope is 2, since from the 2 points you go up 2 and run by 1, if you're not going to calculate it with 2 points, you need to see if its uphill, downhill, etc. (More info in the image below) The slope is actually negative meaning it is -2.

So the equation of the line is actually y= -2x+3
