Question

A line passes through the points (0,3), (4,1) and (6,0). Which function best represents the relationship between the two points?

Answer 1

Answer:

y = - $\frac{1}{2}$ x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

m = $\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$ and "b" is y-intercept with coordinates (0, b)

(0, 3) ⇒ b = 3

(4, 1), (6, 0)

m = $\frac{0-1}{6-4}$ = - $\frac{1}{2}$

y = - $\frac{1}{2}$ x + 3
