Answer:
The equation is y = - 3x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
Equations always start with y = (unless you are in grade 11) in which case you start with f(x) =
Step 2:
Use rise over run to find the slope (since its based on graph, if not there is a formula to find it when given coordinate points only)
So to use rise over run, you count how many squares upwards starting from a point that aligns in the graph (in this case the bolded dots)
So you start at (-2, 3) and count how many squares up or down to the next bolded dot (if its up its positive, if you have to go down then its negative).
Then once youve reached the same y-value as the the other dot, count how many squares to the right.
So in this case, you have to go down 6 times and right 2 times.
So as a fraction its -6/2 but that can be simplified to just -3
So thats the slope: -3
Step 3
then you need to find the y-intercept (where the line touches the y-axis)
Its easy: you can visually see that the line crosses at -3.
and the format for the equation is y = mx + b
m = slope
b= y-intercept
SO: y= -3x - 3
