Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
A section is decreasing
To get the equation of the line, you need two points that belong to this line.
From the given graph, we can choose any two points: (0,-4) and (-2,0)
The general for of the linear straight line is:
y = mx + c where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept
First, we will calculate the slope using the following rule:
slope = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
slope (m) = (0--4) / (-2-0) = 4/-2 = -2
The equation of the line now is: y = -2x + c
Then, we will get the value of the c. To do so, we will choose any point and substitute in the equation. I will choose the point (0,-4)
y = -2x + c
-4 = -2(0) + c
c = -4
Based on the above calculations, the equation of the line is:
y = -2x - 4
The square of a binomial expands as follows:
Expanding all the binomials, we have
Sum like terms:
Simplify terms appearing on both sides:
Move all terms involving k to the left and all numbers to the right:
Divide both sides by -20:
Answer:
y= -2x + (-6)
or
y= -2x - 6
both work !
