Question

Hey everyone! Anybody think they can help me out with this problem? Read the instructions carefully because they might be confusing. I don't need a huge explanation but something brief leading to the answer but also explaining it.

Answer 1

First, notice that the line has negative slope, since it is decreasing, then, we have that the relationship is inverse.

Now, we have that the line passes through the points (3,-2) and (-3,2), then, we can calculate the slope using the general formula:

$\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ \Rightarrow m=\frac{2-(-2)}{-3-3}=\frac{4}{-6}=-\frac{2}{3} \end{gathered}$

therefore, the equation is y = -2/3
