Answer:

y = 1/2x - 2 --- IN SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM

Step-by-step explanation: (2, -1) and (4, 0)

  • Y2 is 0
  • Y1 is -1
  • X2 is 4
  • X1 is 2

Y2 - Y1

X2 - X1

0 - -1

4 - 2

1

2

y - Y1 = m(x - X1)

y - -1 = 1/2(x - 2) --- IN POINT SLOPE FORM

y + 1 = 1/2x - 1

- 1 - 1

y = 1/2x - 2 --- IN SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM


I'm not really sure about my answer... Really really sorry if I'm incorrect...
