Question

What is the equation of this line?

Plz explain if you can

Answer 1

Assuming the line passes through the points (0, -2) and (4,0)

First, begin by finding the slope;

m=
`(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)`
m=(0-(-2))/(4-0)
m=2/4
m=1/2

Now write this into the equation y=mx+c;

y=(1/2)x+b <-- put in coordinates of a point to find b
-2=(1/2)(0)+b
b=-2

The final equation is y=1/2x-2

Hope I helped :)
