Question

Type the slope-intercept equation of the line that passes through the points (2,0) and (0,-2)

y =

Answer 1

The slope-intercept form:

`y=mx+b`

m - slope

b - y-intercept → (0, b)

We have the points (2, 0) and (0, -2) - y-intercept → b = -2.

The formula of a slope:

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

Substitute:

`m=(-2-0)/(0-2)=(-2)/(-2)=1`

Answer: y = 1x - 2 = x - 2
