How to do this problem ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation would be y = -2x + 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, we need to use the Slope Formula:

m = rise/run = y2 - y1/ x2 - x1

(2, 4) are the coordinates of the first point on the graph, (3, 2) are for the second point.

y2 - y1 (the rise):

2 - 4 = -2

x2 - x1 (the run):

3 - 2 = 1

That makes the slope -2/1 which can be simplified to -2. So far we have, y = -2x. There are multiple ways to find the Y-Intercept, but I'm just going to plug the slope in by multiplying it by the X of the first coordinate:

-2 • 2 = -4

According to the Y of that same coordinate, we need a positive 4, not negative. We need to add 8 to get that positive 4. The Y-Intercept is + 8.

Hope this helps,

Answer 2

Answer: y  =  − 2 x  +  8

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula and slope-intercept form  y = m x + b  to find the equation.

y  =  − 2 x  +  8

I hope this help.
