Question4. $y=-0.25 x+2$

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. We are given a linear equation in the form $y = mx + b$ .
2. The task is to understand or interpret the equation, not to solve for specific values unless specified.

STEP 2

1. Identify the slope and y-intercept of the equation.
2. Interpret the meaning of the slope and y-intercept.

STEP 3

Identify the slope ( $m$ ) and y-intercept ( $b$ ) in the equation $y = -0.25x + 2$ .
The slope $m$ is $-0.25$ and the y-intercept $b$ is $2$ .

STEP 4

Interpret the slope and y-intercept:
- The slope $-0.25$ indicates that for each unit increase in $x$ , $y$ decreases by $0.25$ . This represents a downward trend. - The y-intercept $2$ indicates that when $x = 0$ , the value of $y$ is $2$ . This is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.
