Answer:
D or answer 4 y=-5/2x+7
Step-by-step explanation:
Well we can first start of by finding the y-intercept.
Note that when x=0, you can find your y-intercept.
Knowing this, and looking at the table, 7 is the y-intercept because when y=7, x=0.
So we can eliminate choices 'a' and 'c,' or answers 1 and 3, because they have the y-intercept as -7, when it's just 7.
Please know that in the equation:
y = mx + b
y = y-coordinate or any given point
mx = slope
b = y-intercept
Now we must find slope
To find the slope we need to do:
(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) or rise/run
The two coordinates I choose to use is (0, 7) and (6, -8).
(-8 - 7) / (6 - 0) = -5/2
-5/2 is the slope
Finally, look for an equation that has 7 as the y-intercept and -5/2 as the slope.
