Question
Answer:
(Is it this one?)

y = mx + b 
m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

The line is passing through the y-axis at 1, so you know b will be 1.

To find the slope, look at the line and see where it touches the corners of the squares perfectly. It touches them perfectly at (0, 1) and (3, 0). Use the slope formula to find the slope: [tex] \frac{x2 - x1}{y2 - y1} [/tex].

[tex] \frac{x2 - x1}{y2 - y1} [/tex] ⇒ [tex] \frac{0 - 1}{3 - 0} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{-1}{3} [/tex]

The slope is -1/3.
Now you know that m is -1/3.

Plug the slope & y intercept into the equation: y = mx + b

y = -1/3x + 1 is the slope-intercept form of the line.
