Answer: see below
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Write each equation in y = mx + b format where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Left side: -4 ≤ x < -1
If you continue the line through the y-axis it will pass through (0, 4) --> b = 4
The rise over run is -1 over 1 --> m = -1
y = (-1)x + (4) --> y = -x + 4
Right side: -1 < x < 4
The line passes through (0,0) --> b = 0.
The rise over run is -1 over 1 --> m = -1
y = (-1)x + (0) --> y = -x
Answer:
y = (1/2)x - 3 Answer A is closest.
Step-by-step explanation:
Two points on the line are (0, -3) and (4, -1). Notice that I've intentionally chosen "nice" points whose coordinates are integers; this makes the math easier. The point (1, -5/2) is also on the line if you want to use it, but the math's a bit more complicated.
Going from (0, -3) to (4, -1), x increases by 4 and y increases by 2. Hence, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = 2/4, or m = 1/2.
The slope-intercept formula for the equation of a straight line is the most convenient to use here, since we can tell immediately from the graph that the y-intercept is (0, -3):
y = (1/2)x - 3
Answer A should be y = (1/2)x - 3 for improved legibility. 1 2 x is not correct as a way to express (1/2)x.
