Question

Write an equation for a line with a slope of -2, and a y-intercept of 1.

Answer 1

y = -2x + 1

Explanation:

y = mx+b

m = slope

b = y intecept

plug in slop and y intercept

Answer 2

Explanation:

The general equation is

y = mx + b

m is the slope, which is - 2

b is the y intercept which is (0,1)

The equation is

y = -2x + 1
