Answer:

1/2

Explanation:

The "rise" and "run" for the slope formula can be figured from the intercepts.

The x-intercept is 2 units left of the y-axis, so has a run of 2 to get to the y-axis.

They y-intercept is 1 unit above the x-axis, so has a rise of 1 units to get from the axis to the intercept.

The slope is ...

m = rise/run = 1/2 . . . . m in the slope-intercept equation

The equation of the line with an x -intercept of − 2 and a y -intercept of 1 can be-example-1
