What is the linear function equation represented by the graph?

graph of a line on a coordinate plane. the horizontal x-axis ranges from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. the vertical y-axis ranges from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. a line intersects the y-axis at begin ordered pair 0 comma 1 end ordered pair and passes through at begin ordered pair 4 comma negative 1 end ordered pair.

f(x)=

Y= -1/2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a line is Y=Mx+B

M stands for the Slope.

 -Slope is rise/run. So, for this graph the line "rises" 1 point and "runs" left 2 points until meeting the line again. This slope is negative because it "runs" to the left.

B stands for the Y-Intercept

-The Y-intercept is the point at which the line crosses the Y axis. For this example, the line crosses the Y-intercept at (0,1).

why do wages differ across industries

step-by-step explanation :

micro economists are concerned with economics on an industry or individual firm basis.

macro economists are concerned with national and international level

step-by-step explanation:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.

step-by-step explanation:

given that megan owns a clothing boutique.

the profits of 2010, 11, are recorded and shown as follows:

years since     2010 0     1     2     3       4       5

profits made in 1000's   39       84     111     120   111     84

we find that profit gradually increases form 2010 to 2013 upto 120,   then starts decreasing.

the profits for 2012 and 2014 are the same while that of 2011 and 2015 are also the same.

this shows that there is symmetry about the line profit = 120000

hence answer is:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.
