-Slope $- \frac { 7 } { 8 } , \mathrm { y }$-intercept $\frac { 13 } { 2 }$
A) $f ( x ) = \frac { 7 } { 8 } x + \frac { 13 } { 2 }$
B) $f ( x ) = - \frac { 7 } { 8 } x - \frac { 13 } { 2 }$
C) $f ( x ) = - \frac { 7 } { 8 } x + \frac { 13 } { 2 }$
D) $f ( x ) = \frac { 7 } { 8 } x - \frac { 13 } { 2 }$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct linear function is $f(x) = -\frac{7}{8}x + \frac{13}{2}$ because it matches the given slope of $-\frac{7}{8}$ and y-intercept of $\frac{13}{2}$.
