Question

Choose the correct equation for the line shown on the graph?

Answer 1

Option 3

`y=-(1)/(4) x-1`

Explanation:

`y=mx+b`

where m = slope, and b = y intercept

The y intercept is -1. That is because the given line intersects the y axis at the point (0,-1)

The slope is -1/4

That is because it goes up one, and right -4. That means it goes up 1 and left 4.
