The equation of the linear function in slope-intercept form is  

The equation of a linear function can be written in the slope intercept form as:

f(x) = mx + b,

where,

m represents the slope of the linear function

b represents the point on the y-axis where the line intercepts the y-axis. (at this point, x = 0)

we need to find the value of m and b to be able to write the equation of the linear function.

Find slope (m):

From the image attached, the red line represents the rise (3 units) while the blue line represents the run (6 units).

Slope (m) = rise/run

Substitute:

Slope (m) = 3/6

m = 1/2

Find the y-intercept (b):

From the graph, the line cuts the y-axis at y = -5.

Therefore,

b = -5

Next is to substitute m = 1/2 and b = -5 into f(x) = mx + b. Thus:

The equation of the linear function is:
