<h3>
Answer: f(x) = (-1/2)x+1, choice B</h3>
=================================================
Explanation:
The diagonal line passes through 1 on the vertical y axis. So the y intercept is b = 1. This means the location of the y intercept is (0,1).
Start at (0,1) and move down 1 and to the right 2 to arrive at (2,0). This is another point on the diagonal line. The motion of "down 1 and right 2" is effectively the slope
slope = rise/run = -1/2
rise = -1, run = 2
The rise being negative means we have gone downhill as we move to the right.
With m = -1/2 as the slope and b = 1 as the y intercept, we go from y = mx+b to y = (-1/2)x+1
The last thing to do is replace y with f(x) to get f(x) = (-1/2)x+1 as the final answer.
Answer:
The answer would be 0.00000007
Slope intercept is y=mx+b
m=slope
slope if found by
m=(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)
(x,y)
(-1,-2) and
(1,2)
x1=-1
y1=-2
x2=1
y2=2
m=(-1-1)/(-2-2)
m=-2/-4
m=1/2
y=1/2x+b
solve fo by subsituting one x value
(1,2)
x=1
y=2
2=1/2(1)+b
2=1/2+b
subtract 1/2
3/2=b
equation is
y=1/2x+3/2
3.303e+13 that is approximately
