Answer:

y = -1/2x - 3 1/2    exact fractions

y = -0.5x - 3.5     exact decimals

Step-by-step explanation:

From the two points indicated on the graph

rise goes from -4  to -5 = -1

run goes from 1 to 3 = 2

m = slope = rise/run = -1/2

slope intercept form is

y = mx+b

to find "b" use either point

using (1, -4)

-4 = (-1/2)(1) + b

-4 = -1/2 + b

Add 1/2 to both sides

-3 1/2 = b

The equation is

y = -1/2x - 3 1/2     exact fractions

y = -0.5x - 3.5     exact decimals
