Answer: y = -1x - 1
This means -1 goes in the first box, and -1 goes in the second box.
y = -1x - 1 is the same as y = -x - 1
========================================================
Step-by-step explanation:
The two points (0,-1) and (1,-2) are on the red diagonal line.
Let's use the slope formula to compute the slope
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (-2-(-1))/(1-0)
m = (-2+1)/(1-0)
m = -1/1
m = -1
The slope is -1.
The y intercept is -1 because the red line crosses the y axis at -1.
Since the y intercept is -1, this means b = -1.
With m = -1 and b = -1, we go from y = mx+b to y = -1x + (-1). This is the same as y = -1x - 1
Furthermore, that equation simplifies to y = -x - 1.
Side note: the slope and y intercept aren't always the same value.
