Answer:
y = -[tex]\frac{2}{8}[/tex] + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
You have all that you need
(y = mx+b, m= rise/run which is the change in y/change in x, b = y-intercept.)
so now we just need to put it to use!
Let's take y = mx + b and break it into two parts. We need the b and the m. The b is easier, because we can conclude by looking at the graph it is equal too 5. Here is our equation so far:
y = mx + 5
Now we need to solve for m:
[tex]\frac{rise}{run} = \frac{2}{8}[/tex]
The line is going dowards, so the slope (m) is negative.
Here is our final answer:
y = -[tex]\frac{2}{8}[/tex] + 5
