Question

Write the equation of the line,in slope-intercept form, that has a slope of -2 and goes through the point (1,1)

Answer 1

The equation of the line would be y = -2x + 3

Explanation:

In order to find the equation of the line, start by using point-slope form with the known information.

y - y1 = m(x -x1)

y - 1 = -2(x - 1)

Now that we have this, solve for y.

y - 1 = -2x + 2

y = -2x + 3
