Answer:
y = -5x + 46
Step-by-step explanation:
We are trying to find an equation in y=mx+b form
Okay so we know two points on the graph, from which we can get the slope (value of m) by the formula [tex]\frac{y_{2} -y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]
plugging in the values: [tex]\frac{6 -1}{8-9}[/tex]
the resulting slope is -5
to find our b value we can plug in one of our coordinants into the equation and solve for b
1 = -5(9) + b
1 = -45 + b
46 = b
so our equation in y = -5x + 46
