Question

I need help with my math

Answer 1

First choice: y = (-1)x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is given by

`y=mx+b`

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (we know this from the point (0,2))

Now in our case, the y-intercept is (0, 2) ; therefore, our equation looks like

`y=mx+2`

and now we find the slope.

The slope is defined as the rise/run.

Since rise = 2 and run = -2, we have

`m=\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}=(2)/(-2)=1`

with the value of m in hand, we now write the equation of the line

`y=(-1)x+b`

which is our answer!
