Which equation represents the graphed function?
A. Y=-2x+3
B. Y=2x+3
C. Y=1/2x+3
D.Y=-1/2x+3

Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
To calculate m use the slope formula
m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 1)
m = [tex]\frac{1-3}{1-0}[/tex] = - 2
Note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 3) ⇒ c = 3
y = - 2x + 3 ← equation of line → A
The equation that represents the graphed function is the option: A (Y=-2x+3). This is obtained by using the slope-intercept form of the given graphed function.
The slope-intercept form of a line is given by the equation Y=mx+c.
Where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.
The slope of a line is the ratio of the difference of y-coordinates to the difference of x-coordinates of the given two points. I.e.,
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
Using this the equation of the line can be written as
[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]
Given that,
The line passes through two pints (0,3) and (1,1) i.e., x1=0, y1=3, x2=1 and y2=1.
So, the slope m is calculated as
[tex]m=\frac{1-3}{1-0}[/tex]
⇒ m = -2
Then the equation of the line is calculated as follows:
[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\[/tex]
⇒y - 3= (-2)(x-0)
⇒y - 3= -2x
⇒ y = -2x+3
Thus, this is in the slope-intercept form as Y=mx+c
Where, m=-2 and c=3
Therefore, option A: Y=-2x+3 represents the equation of the given graphed function.
