Question

Here's a graph of a linear function. Write the

Answer 1

Answer:

  y = -2x -5

Step-by-step explanation:

The line crosses the y-axis at -5. So, b = -5.

It goes down 2 units for each 1 unit to the right, so has a slope of ...

  m = rise/run = -2/1 = -2

__

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is ...

  y = mx +b      where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

For the slope and y-intercept shown, the equation is ...

  y = -2x -5
