Step-by-step explanation:
General line equation: y = mx + c
When x = 0, y = 3. => (3) = m(0) + c, c = 3.
When x = -4, y = 5. => (5) = m(-4) + c,
5 = -4m + (3), -4m = 2, m = -0.5.
Hence the answer is y = -0.5x + 3.
Answer:
y=-[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]+3
Step-by-step explanation:
To write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form, first calculate the slope of the line (m)
m=[tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }[/tex]
=[tex]\frac{5-3}{-4-0}[/tex]
=2/-4
=-[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
next, calculate b by substituting a point (0, 3) into the equation
y=mx+b
3=(-1/2)(0)+b
b=3
final equation of line is: y=-[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]+3
