The equation that represents the line shown in the graph is:
B. y = -3x + 2
Solving linear equation mean calculating the unknown variable from the equation.
Let the linear equation : y = mx + c
If we draw the above equation on Cartesian Coordinates , it will be a straight line with :
m → gradient of the line
( 0 , c ) → y - intercept
Gradient of the line could also be calculated from two arbitrary points on line ( x₁ , y₁ ) and ( x₂ , y₂ ) with the formula :
If point ( x₁ , y₁ ) is on the line with gradient m , the equation of the line will be :
Let us tackle the problem!
From the graph , the line goes through the point ( -1 , 5 ) and ( 0 , 2 ).
Let:
( x₁ , y₁ ) = ( 0 , 2 )
( x₂ . y₂ ) = ( -1 , 5 )
We can calculate the gradient of the graph by using this following formula:
Next , we can find the equation of the graph by using this following formula:
