Here’s a graph of a linear function. Write the equation that describes that function. Express it in slope-intercept form.

The equation that describes the function is y = -6x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly we can see that the graph passes through the origin.

The general equation of a starlight line graph is;

y = mx + c

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

what’s left now is go find our slope

We need two points for this on the line.

Let’s identify these points;

The identifiable points are; (1,-7) and (-1,5)

So the formula for the slope is;

y2-y1/x2-x1 = (5-(-7))/(-1-1) = 12/-2 = -6

Thus, the equation of the line becomes

y = -6x + c

Looking at the graph again, we can see an obvious y-intercept at the point y = -1

So our intercept is -1

The equation of the line is thus;

y = -6x -1
