Y=mx+b y=-2/12x-8 Simplify: y=-1/6x-8 Slope intercept is really easy. m is the slope. All you have to do is find 2 points and use rise/run. Rise is how many up or downs (numerator). Run is left or right (denominator). We are given 2 points in the graph. So I counted, 2 down, 12 left. So 2/12. Now remember if the line is going down from left to right, it’s a negative slope. So -2/12. To find the y intercept, just find where the line meets at the y intercept, here it’s -8. So y=-2/12x-8. y=-1/6x-8
