Question

What is the equation of the following line (0,0) and (10,-2)

Answer 1

Answer: y=-1/5x

Explanation:

Answer 2

the equation of the following line (0,0) and (10,-2)

First we find slope of the line using the given points (0,0) and (10,-2)

`slope = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

(0,0) is (x1,y1) and (10,-2) is (x2,y2)

`slope = (-2-0)/(10-0)` =
`(-1)/(5)`

Now we use equation y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

`y=(-1)/(5) x +b`

Plug in (0,0) and solve for b

`0=(-1)/(5)(0) +b`

b=0

So equation of the line is
`y=(-1)/(5)x`
