Question

Write the equation for the line graphed below.

Answer 1

y=ax+b

(-2; -2); (0;-1); (2; 0)

-1=a*0+b => b=-1

0=a*2+b

0=a*2-1

a*2=1 => a=1/2

y=x/2 -1

Answer 2

Answer:

y = 1/2x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the y-intercept you find where the line crosses the y axis

for the slope you need to use the equation

change of y2 - change of y1

change of x2 - change of x1
