Y = (-3/7)x + 4
Looking at the graph, you can see the trend line plotted. And conveniently, there are a couple of points on the trend line that are indicated. Those points being (0,4) and (7,1). The equation of a line in slope intercept form is:y = ax+b
Looking at the points available, the point (0,4) already gives us the y intercept since x is equal to 0. So our equation becomes:
y = ax + 4
Now we need to determine a which is the slope. The slope is the change in y divided by the change in x. So let's do that
(1-4)/(7-0) = -3/7
And now our equation becomes:
y = (-3/7)x + 4
And given formatting issues, the first option available is the correct one.
Let's make "x" the variable for Maria's age.
And since Maria's father is 20 years older than Maria:
Age of Maria's Father = x + 20.
