Question

Whats the answer????

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the general slope intercept form is

y = ax + b

a is the slope (and always the factor of x). it is expressed as ratio y/x indicating how many units y changes, when x changes a certain amount of units when going from one point to another.

b is the y-intercept, the y value of the point, where the line crosses the y-axis (in other words : the y value when x = 0).

so, look at the chart. where do we see points with integer coordinates (these are the easiest to read correctly and work with) ?

I see for example (0, -6) and (4, -7).

to go from the first to the second point :

x changes by +4 units (from 0 to 4).

y changes by -1 unit (from -6 to -7).

the slope a is therefore -1/4.

and the first point i picked gives us also automatically the y-intercept (-6).

so, the line equation is

y = (-1/4)x - 6
