Question

I need help on how to find m and b

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of line passing through two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is give by,

Slope 'm' = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Therefore, slope of the line passing through the points (0, 3) and (2, 2),

m = $\frac{3-2}{0-2}$ = $-\frac{1}{2}$

Y-intercept 'b' of the given line in the graph is (3).

Since, equation of line with slope 'm' and y-intercept 'b' is,

y = mx + b

Therefore,equation of the line given in graph will be,

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