Answer:
y=-2x+3
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the slope formula
[tex]m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
According to the table, x=1 and y=1. There is another point x=2 and y=-1.
We can say that [tex]x_{1}=1[/tex] and [tex]y_{1} =1[/tex]. We can also say that [tex]x_{2}=2[/tex] and [tex]y_{2}=-1[/tex]. Plugging this into the equation we get:
[tex]m=\frac{-1-1}{2-1}=-2[/tex].
This means that the slope of your equation is -1/2
Point intercept form is y=mx+b
So plugging the slope in we have [tex]y=2x+b[/tex]
We can plug in one of the values from the value table for x and y, but to keep things simple, I’m going to just use x=1, and y=1, the first values on the table. Plugging these into the equation we get:
[tex]1=-2(1)+b\\ 1=-2 +b\\b=1+2 \\b=3[/tex]
So our equation is [tex]y=-2x+3[/tex]
