Question

What is the equation of the following line (0,0) (4,-2)

Answer 1

y = -1/2(x) i think!

Explanation:

Answer 2

The required equation is
`y=-(1)/(2)x`

Explanation:

To find : What is the equation of the following line (0,0) (4,-2)?

Solution :

The two point slope form is
`(y-y_1)=((y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1))(x-x_1)`

Where, The points are
`(x_1,y_1)=(0,0)` and
`(x_2,y_2)=(4,-2)`

Substitute in the equation,

`(y-0)=((-2-0)/(4-0))(x-0)`

`y=((-2)/(4))x`

`y=-(1)/(2)x`

Therefore, The required equation is
`y=-(1)/(2)x`
