To put it into slope intercept form, let's start by writing the equation format. It will be y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. Let's find the y intercept first. On the graph the line crosses the y axis at -9. Now we have one part of the equation: y=mx+(-9) aka y=mx-9. The line seems to go up one and over one from the point (0,-9). That means that the slope is then 1 since it rises 1 and runs 1. Now we have an equation of y=1x-9. But x doesn't need to have the coefficient of 1 since that is the default therefore the finished equation is y=x-9.

Answer: last option

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the weight of his pumpkin 4.9 pounds and that, if he guesses its weight within 0.3 pounds, he will get the pumpkin for free.

Then, to find the minimum weight he can guess in order to get his pumpkin for free, it's necessary to write the expression:

$x-0.3=4.9$
