Write the equation for the line in slope-intercept form.

y= -1x + 3

y= 4x + 3

y= -4x + 3

Answer explanation

y - intercept is (0,3), so your equation has to end in +3

The slope is positive

From the y-intercept you move down -4 and left -1

-4/-1 = 4

So

y = 4x + 3

Which equation represents this graph?

Answer explanation

y - intercept is -3 so your equation has to end in -3

Slope - move up 5 and left -1

So sope is 5/-1 or -5/1

y = -5x - 3
