Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 340) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 292) ← 2 ordered pairs from table
m = [tex]\frac{292-340}{4-0}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-48}{4}[/tex] = - 12
(0, 340 ) → gives the y- intercept b = 340
The equation is of the form
y = mx + b ( m is the slope and b the y- intercept ), thus
y = - 12x + 340
