Answer:

y = -1/2 x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Which of the following equations describes the line shown below? Check all

that apply.

(-4, 4)

(2, 1)

The standard equation of a line is y = mx,+b

m is the slope

b is he y-inttercept

Get the slope

Slope m = y2-y1/x2-x1

Substitute the coordinate

M = 1-4/2-(-4)

M = -3/6

M = -1/2

Substitute m= -1/2 and (2,1) into y = mx+b

1 = -1/2(2)+b

1 = -1+b

b = 1+1

b=2

Get the equation

Recall y =mx+b

y = -1/2 x + 2
