To find the equation of the linear function, we first need to find the slope (m) using the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (-1 - 4) / (-3 - 2)
m = (-5) / (-5)
m = 1
Now that we have the slope, we can use one of the points (2, 4) to find the y-intercept (b) using the formula y = mx + b:
4 = 1(2) + b
4 = 2 + b
b = 4 - 2
b = 2
Therefore, the equation of the linear function is y = x + 2.
Write the equation of the linear function shown on the graph. Enter your answer in y=mx+b form.
The graph points are (2, 4) and (-3, -1).
