Hey what’s the answer to this
![**Title: Finding the Equation of a Line**
**Instructions:**
Examine the provided graph and find the equation of the line.
**Graph Description:**
- The graph is a standard coordinate plane with a grid.
- A red line is drawn at a negative slope.
- Two red points are marked where the line intersects the grid: one at the y-axis and another to the right.
- These points are used to visualize the rise/run ratio, which is the slope, indicated by equal intervals labeled as "1" on both axes.
**Equation Form:**
\[ y = mx + b \]
- \( m \) represents the slope of the line.
- \( b \) represents the y-intercept (the point where the line crosses the y-axis).
**Task:**
- Determine the slope (\( m \)) by calculating the rise over run using the marked points.
- Identify the y-intercept (\( b \)) by looking at the point where the line crosses the y-axis.
- Fill in the blanks in the equation template:
\[ y = [ \text{?} ] x - [ \text{?} ] \]
- Click "Enter" to check your answer.
