Write an equation of the form y = mx for the line shown below. If appropriate, use the decimal form for the slope.

y = - 0.5x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m =

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 1) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = = - 0.5

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, 0 ) ⇒ c = 0

y = - 0.5x + 0 . that is

y = - 0.5x

parallel and congruent

step-by-step explanation:

the movement of translation is linear.   these have the same translation because you are using the same rule for each point of the triangle so you will see the same slope being used to get from a point on the triangle to its image.

same slope!   you should think parallel when you see those 2 word together (well unless it's the same line but it can't be because we are coming from different points here)

congruent! because each point is being moved the same distance.

f(x) is the value of the function. b is the value of the function when x equals zero or the y-coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y-axis in the coordinate plane.
