Question

Find the equation of the line shown.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

✔️Find the slope using (9, 0) and (7, 2):

$slope (m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{2 - 0}{7 - 9} = \frac{2}{-2} = -1$

Slope (m) = -1

✔️Find the y-intercept (b):

The line intercepts the y-axis when y = 9. Therefore, y-intercept (b) = 9

✔️Substitute m = -1 and b = 9 into y = mx + b

Thus,

y = -1(x) + 9

y = -x + 9
