Answer:

2x+y+1=0

Explanation:

this is a first degree equation with two unknown variables, x and y. they are referred to as linear equation and are typically represented in slope intercepts form, y=mx+b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept. So you want to set the equation equal to y by isolating it to one side of the equation.

Subtract all term other than y (in this case, 2x and 1) from both sides of the equation.

2x+y+1-2x-1=0-2x-1

y=-2x-1

Answer:

M=-2 & C=-1

Explanation:

2x+y+1=0

The equation of a straight line is given as

y=mx+c

where, m is the gradient slope

c is y- intercept

from the equation 2x+y+1=0

make y subject of the formula

2x+y+1=0

y= -2x-1

Therefore, Slope (M)=-2 & y-intercept (c)=-1
