Answer:

y=-1/2x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Well we know that the slope is -1/2 so we can write the equation like this:

y=-1/2x+b (This is because of y=mx+b) (m is slope) (b is y-intercept)

Now we can replace the y and x with -4 and -3 because of (x,y). (-4,-3) x is -4 and y is -3

-3=-1/2(-4)+b

-3=2+b

Subtract 2 on both side:

-2-3=2-2+b

-5=b

Answer:

y=-1/2x-5

Hope this helps!

Which of the following rational functions is graphed below?

Answer:

option B

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see in the graph that the function has two values of x where the value of y goes to infinity: x = -6 and x = 6.

These points where the value of the function goes to infinity usually are roots of the polynomial in the denominator of a fraction (when the values of x tend to these values, the denominator of the fraction tends to 0, so we have a discontinuity in the function).

So the option that represents a function that have these points in x = -6 and x = 6 is the function in option B.

The other options show functions that have only one point that goes to infinity.
