Answer:
It is indeed y = -4x
Step-by-step explanation:
We see that for every increase of 1 in the x direction, y goes down 4.
Pay attention to the scales of the x and y axes.
Slope = rise/run
we rise -4 and run 1.
so the slope is -4/1 = -4
The y-intercept is at (0,0)
So the equation is y = -4x
(0,5)(4,0)
slope = (0 - 5) / (4 - 0) = -5/4
y = mx + b
slope(m) = -5/4
use either of ur sets of points....(0,5)...x = 0 and y = 5
now we sub and find b, the y int
5 = -5/4(0) + b
5 = b
so ur equation is : y = -5/4x + 5...but we need it in standard form...
y = -5/4x + 5
5/4x + y = 5....multiply everything by common denominator of 4
5x + 4y = 20 <== standard form of Ax + By = C
Well there is many ways you can write 8 as fraction. Most common is 8/1 because 1/1 is 1 8/1 is 8. Some people can write 8 as fraction like 72/9 or 24/3.
I hope this helped!!!:)
