Answer:
y =( -1/2 )x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
first step is to determine the slope of the line ( which is the rise over the run) or symbolically slope is defined as m= ∆x / ∆y, so plugging those values we get...
m= ∆x / ∆y = (-1 - 0) / (4 - 2) = -1 / 2
so next is to find the zero( y-intercept) of the function by ....
y = mx + b
y = ( -1/2)x + b (since m is equal to -1/2)
2 = ( -1/2)0 + b
2= b
