HELP HELP HELP PLS IM BEGGING IM LITERALLY CRYING I DONT UNDERSTAND

x-intercept 1; y-intercept = 2

Answer 1

`y = 2x + 2`

Explanation:

The equation of any (non-vertical) line can take the form

y = ax + b where a is the slope and b is the y intercept. We know that in this case, the y intercept is 2. So we can substitute b = 2:

`y = ax + 2.`

Now, to find the x intercept, simply put y = 0 (since every point on the x axis has y = 0) and x = -1, since that is the given x intercept:

0 = -a + 2, so we see that a = 2. The equation is then:

y = 2x + 2
