Answer:
y = -1/2x + b meaning f(x) = -1/2x + b
Step-by-step explanation:
Use two points on the graph that you can find the value of or use Slope = raise/run
let use points (2,0) and (0, 1)
slope = (change in the y-value)/(change in the x-value.
slope = (1 - 0)/(0 - 2)
slope = 1/-2 or -1/2
Or starting at point (2, 0) the run(x movement) = -2 and the raise is 1.
slope = raise/run
slope = 1/-2 or -1/2
Using one point (2,0) and the slope of -1/2, substitute into the slope intersect form, y = mx + b, and solve for "b" .
y= mx + b
0 = -1/2(2) + b
0 = -1 + b
1 = b
Now write your equation: y = mx +b where m = -1/2 and b = 1
y = -1/2x +b
