it anyway? What is the equation of this graph?
- 00:11
And here are your potential answers...
- 00:17
This graph shows us the two points of intersection; they are here at point 5 on the x-axis...
- 00:22
and here at 2 on the y axis. So right off the bat, we know that 2 points

on the line are .5, 0 and 0, 2. And since the line slopes downward, we know
- 00:34
its slope will be negative.
- 00:36
Now back to our old friend y equals mx plus
- 00:38
b, the standard form of a line. We can get the slope m by doing the
- 00:43
y over x dance like this...
- 00:45
and we get y2 minus y1 over x2 minus x1...
- 00:48
...or 2 minus 0 over 0 minus .5... ...which equals negative 2 divided by a half
- 00:54
or... negative 4. So we have y equals negative 4 times x plus
- 00:58
b...and we can just plug in some points to get b. Let's try the 2nd point - zero, 2
- 01:05
We have 2 equals negative 4 times 0 plus b or... 2 equals... b.
- 01:10
Which is answer C.
