Answer:

y = -3x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The line crosses the y-axis at 1. This is called the y-intercept. This is the number you fill in for c in the form of the equation given.

You can pick any two points on the line to calculate the slope. But you can actually SEE the slope without having to calculate it when you have the graph to look at. See the line crossing the y-axis at 1. Look for another point (that has nice whole number coordinates) there is one DOWN3 and OVER1. If you notice, the next point is also DOWN3 and OVER1.

DOWN3 and OVER1 is the slope -3/1, which is equal to -3.

Fill in -3 in place of the m in the equation.

y = -3x + 1

Done!

Answer:

y = -3x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope/intercept form is y = mx + c where m is the slope and c the y-intercept(ie the value of y when x =0)

The slope can be found by taking any two points on the line,  (x1, y1) and (x2,y2) and computing (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

If you look at the line 2 points on the line are P(2,-5) and (0,1)

Slope = (-5-1)/(2-0) = -3

The y-intercept is the y-value at which the line intersects the y-axis ie at x = 0 and you can see that this is 1

Therefore equation is
y = -3x + 1

You can check to see if this is correct by plugging in some other value of x and seeing if the correct y value corresponds to the equation y-value

For example, in the graph we see that at x = 1, y = -2

Indeed -3(1) + 1 = -3 + 1 = -2 also
