Answer:
y = -1/2x - 3 1/2 exact fractions
y = -0.5x - 3.5 exact decimals
Step-by-step explanation:
From the two points indicated on the graph
rise goes from -4 to -5 = -1
run goes from 1 to 3 = 2
m = slope = rise/run = -1/2
slope intercept form is
y = mx+b
to find "b" use either point
using (1, -4)
-4 = (-1/2)(1) + b
-4 = -1/2 + b
Add 1/2 to both sides
-3 1/2 = b
The equation is
y = -1/2x - 3 1/2 exact fractions
y = -0.5x - 3.5 exact decimals
Looking at the line graph any - number to the left of the -4 would be less than -4.
This would make A true, -8 is less than -4
