Use the image to answer the question.

A coordinate plane shows a solid curved line with arrows at both ends. The x axis ranges from 40 to negative 40 in increments of 5 and the y axis ranges from 40 to negative 20 in increments of 5.
what is the equation?

1 answer

To determine the equation of the curve from the description you provided, we would need more specific details about the curve itself, such as the coordinates of key points it passes through or its general shape (e.g., whether it's linear, quadratic, exponential, etc.).

In general, when analyzing a curve on a coordinate plane, you can:

  1. Identify key points that the curve passes through (intercepts, peaks, troughs).
  2. Determine the type of curve (straight line, parabola, exponential growth, etc.).
  3. Use the identified points and the type of curve to derive the equation.

Without the image or additional details about the curve's shape or specific points, I can't provide the exact equation. If you can describe the curve further or provide specific coordinates, I'd be happy to help you derive its equation!
