Question

What is the equation of the line in this graph?


y = -1/5 x - 1

y = 1/5 x - 1

y = -1/4 x - 5

y = 1/4 x - 5

Answer 1

What are you stuck on?

Answer 2

i just dont get it

Answer 3

slope is
\[-\frac{1}{4}\] since you go to the right 4 and down 1

Answer 4

y - intercept is -1 since the line crosses the y axis at (0,-1)
so the equation is
\[y=mx+b\]
\[y=-\frac{1}{4}x-1\]
