Answer:
[tex]\sf y=-\dfrac12x+2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
y-intercept is when x = 0, so (0, 2)
x-intercept is when y = 0, so (4, 0)
[tex]\sf slope=\dfrac{change\:in\:y}{change\:in\:x}=\dfrac{0-2}{4-0}=-\dfrac12[/tex]
Slope-intercept form of linear equation: [tex]\sf y=mx+b[/tex]
(where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept)
Given:
- [tex]\sf m=-\dfrac12[/tex]
- b = 2
[tex]\sf \implies y=-\dfrac12x+2[/tex]
