Question

Graph the following lines and write the equation in slope-intercept form. Through the point (2,−4) with y-intercept of −2.

HELP!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

For this case we have that by definition, the equation in the form of slope-intersection is given by:

`y = mx + b`

Where

• m is the slope

• b is the cut point

Substituting the given point:
`(x, y) = (2, -4)` and the cutoff point
`b = -2` we can find the slope,

We have:

`-4 = m * 2-2\\-4 = 2m-2\\-4 + 2 = 2m\\-2 = 2m`

`m =-(2)/(2)\\m = -1`

Thus, the equation is given by:

`y = -x-2`

Answer:

`y = -x-2`
