Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form from the graph below Attachment of graph below !

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

the first thing you can get from that line is the y-intercept. Then take two points and solve: "(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y= -1x + 1 would this be correct then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Slope-intercept form is: y = mx + b (where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept) So looking a the graph, do you see that the y-intercept is (1,0)? Look at the slope in the graph. To my (old!) eyes, it seem that for every one unit to the right, it goes downward one unit. So it's slope is -1. So the equation is: y = (-1)x + (1) of y = -x + 1 Hope that makes sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. okay so my answer is correct? y = -1x + 1?

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

yes, that's correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes
