Answer:
y = -2x + 3 is the required equation
Step-by-step explanation:
From the graph we will get two ordered pairs
If we see that When x=0 then y=3 and when x = 1 then y=1
Now from this we can find the slope of the Graph
So slope of graph = (y2 - y1) / (x2-x1)
=(1-3) / (1-0)
=-2
So
Slope = m = -2
Now the equation is
y = mx + b
We have to find the value of b
as we have two ordered pairs we can take any of it to find the value of b because line passes through those points
taking (0,3) as a point
y= mx + b
put values
3 = -2*(0) + b
so
b=3
Now the equation of the line in this form is
y = mx + b
which is
y = -2x + 3
% change = (new value - old value)/(old value) * 100%
.. = (9.67 -9.74)/9.74 * 100%
.. = -0.07/9.74 * 100%
.. = -0.7%
The decrease is 0.7%.
Well, first, the equation that you are looking for is Y = MX + B. To find B, look at the first dot on the Y-axis. It starts at positive 3, so, you know your equation will end with +3. Next, to find MX, start at the either dot, and find the Rise/Run. In this particular equation, the rise is 1, and, the run is -2, because it's going backwards (negative line). Meaning, the line's equation would be, f( x )= -1/2x + 3.
So the equation for these types of equations is f(x) = a(x-h)+k with h being a horizontal translation, a being a stretch/compression and k being a vertical translation. So here if you want a stretch of 4 a would be four, g(x)=4(-3x-h)+k. Also, there is a horizontal translation so it would be positive 4 into the equation. Since there is no change in the y-axis there is no vertical translation resulting in g(x) = 4(-3x-4)
