Question

The function rule for this graph is

Answer 1

Answer:

y = - $\frac{1}{2}$ x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 0) ← 2 points on the line

m = $\frac{0-2}{4-0}$ = $\frac{-2}{4}$ = - $\frac{1}{2}$

Note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 2) ⇒ c = 2

y = - $\frac{1}{2}$ x + 2 ← function rule
