Answer:
y = -1/4 x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
use y=mx+b
keep the x and the y
m is the slope
to find the slope put the rise (change in y between any two points that the line crosses) over the run (change in x between any two points that the line crosses) like this
rise/run
in this case the two points that I chose were (0, 2) and (4, 1), so fhe rise between them is -1, and the run between them is 4, so put -1/4 instead of your m in the equation
b is the y intercept
the y intercept is where on the y axis does the line cross the 0 x axis
basically just ask yourself, what is the y when the x is 0
in this case the line is crossing 2 y when it crosses the 0 x axis
So when the x is 0, the y is 2, so put the 2 instead of your b in the equation
the whole equation should be y= -1/4 x + 2
