Math Problem Statement
What is the equation shown in the image and its interpretation?
Solution
The equation in the image is:
This is a linear equation in slope-intercept form, , where:
- is the slope of the line, indicating that the line decreases by 2 units for every 1 unit increase in .
- is the y-intercept, meaning the line crosses the y-axis at .
