Y = (-3/7)x + 4
Looking at the graph, you can see the trend line plotted. And conveniently, there are a couple of points on the trend line that are indicated. Those points being (0,4) and (7,1). The equation of a line in slope intercept form is:y = ax+b
Looking at the points available, the point (0,4) already gives us the y intercept since x is equal to 0. So our equation becomes:
y = ax + 4
Now we need to determine a which is the slope. The slope is the change in y divided by the change in x. So let's do that
(1-4)/(7-0) = -3/7
And now our equation becomes:
y = (-3/7)x + 4
And given formatting issues, the first option available is the correct one.
Your question is incomplete.
Answer:
28
Step-by-step explanation:
1) subtract 12 from both sides
2) divide by negative 1
The answer is y = -8x - 20. If you were to use y = 8x - 20 then you'd get 4 = -44, which, obviously, is not true. To fix it all you need to do is add a negative sign in front of the 8. y = -8x - 20.
