Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation will be in the form

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, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2.5, 0) ← 2 points on the line

m = $\frac{0-5}{2.5-0}$ = - 2

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, 5) ⇒ c = 5

y = - 2x + 5 or

y = 5 - 2x → A
