Calculate the graph equation and the slope
Pick any two points on the graph, we have:
[tex](x_1,y_1) = (0,22)[/tex]
[tex](x_2,y_2) = (11,0)[/tex]
To calculate the equation, we first calculate the slope (m)
[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{0-22}{11-0}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{-22}{11}[/tex]
[tex]m =-2[/tex]
The equation is:
[tex]y - y_1= m(x - x_1)[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]y - 22 = -2(x - 0)[/tex]
[tex]y - 22 = -2(x)[/tex]
[tex]y - 22 = -2x[/tex]
Make y the subject
[tex]y = 22-2x[/tex]
