Question

Can you pls help me with this

Answer 1

y = x - 2

Explanation:

Slope intercept form of an equation: y =mx +b

Here m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Choose any two points on the line.

(2,0) ; (0,-2)

Now, find the slope.

`\sf \boxed{Slope = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)}`

`= (-2 - 0)/(0 - 2)\\\\=(-2)/(-2)\\\\= +1`

m = 1.

Now, y = 1x + b

The (2 , 0) passes through the line. Substitute x = 2 and y = 0 in the above equation and find the value of 'b'.

0 = 1*2 + b

0 = 2 + b

-2 = b

Equation of line:

y = x - 2
