Please look at this question, thanks!

the first option is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c

Where c = intercept

Slope, m =change in value of y on the vertical axis / change in value of x on the horizontal axis represent

change in the value of y = y2 - y1

Change in value of x = x2 -x1

y2 = final value of y

y 1 = initial value of y

x2 = final value of x

x1 = initial value of x

The line passes through (0, - 3) and (8, - 5),

y2 = - 5

y1 = - 3

x2 = 8

x1 = 0

Slope,m = (- 5 - - 3)/(8 - 0) = - 2/8 =

- 1/4

To determine the intercept, we would substitute x = 0, y = - 3 and m= - 1/4 into y = mx + c. It becomes

- 3 = - 1/4 × 0 + c

c = - 3

The equation becomes

y = - x/4 - 3
