Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's analyze the graph and determine the equation of the line.
Key steps:
-
Identify two points on the line: From the image, I can see two points where the line crosses grid points:
- Point 1: (0, 3) (y-intercept)
- Point 2: (4, -3)
-
Calculate the slope: The slope () is determined by the formula:
Using points (0, 3) and (4, -3):
-
Use the slope-intercept form of the line: The slope-intercept form is:
We know the slope and the y-intercept from the point (0, 3). Thus, the equation of the line is:
This is the equation of the line in the graph.
