Can anyone explain why and what would be the answer so I could learn as well cause I dont know

troodon:

you asking something?

Hellothanksfortheexp:

The equation of the graphed line is blank x + blank y = 4.

troodon:

-2

troodon:

i don't understand what you're asking

Hellothanksfortheexp:

so this is what it is asking The equation of the graphed line is blank x + blank y=4 so basically, we got a fill in the blanks based on the graphs

Hellothanksfortheexp:

sorry just one graph only

Hellothanksfortheexp:

if you scroll to the top you will see the graph

troodon:

give me a second

troodon:

y=-1/2x+2

Hellothanksfortheexp:

alright thanks

Hellothanksfortheexp:

how did you get the answer tho?

troodon:

the slope equals rise over run and the rise is 1 and the run is -2 and the the last variable or the b is the y-intercept and in this case it's 2. so the slope(rise over run) is -1/2x and the y-intercept is 2. So the equation would be y=-1/2x+2

troodon:

does this help?

Hellothanksfortheexp:

Yes thank so much

troodon:

yup
