Answer:
-1/3
5
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to complete
y = mx + b
with a slope, m, and with the y-intercept, b.
From the graph, we see that the line intersects the y-axis at y = 5, so the y-intercept, b, is 5.
We now have y = mx + 5.
Now we need the slope.
We pick two points that are easy to read, (0, 5) and (3, 4).
m = slope = rise/run
To go from (3, 4) to (0, 5), we go up vertically 1 unit. The rise is 1.
Then we go left horizontally 3 units. The run is -3.
m = slope = rise/run = 1/(-3) = -1/3
Now we have the slope, so we can finish.
y = -1/3 x + 5
