(4,0)
Oy-x-1
Oy-1
45
o,-1)

Answer 1

Answer:

the third option is the answer, y= 1/4x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

graph line in standard form:

$y = mx + c$

where m = slope and c = y-intercept

1) find the slope

slope formula:

$\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

use the two coordinates given in the graph

i/ (0,-1)

x1 = 0

y1 = -1

ii/ (4,0)

x2 = 4

y2 = 0

substitute the values into the formula

$\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

$\frac{0 - ( - 1)}{4 - 0}$

$\frac{1}{4}$

thus, m = 1/4

2) find the y-intercept

* y-intercept is the value of y that cuts through the y-axis

based on the graph, the y-intercept is -1

thus, c = -1

3) substitute the value of m and c into the standard form formula

$y = mx + c$

$y = \frac{1}{4} x - 1$
