Question

Will give 20 points for who answer!

Answer 1

Equation: y + 1 = -2(x - 0) OR y + 3 = -2(x - 1)

Slope: -2

Y-intercept: (0, -1)

Explanation:

First, create an equation in point-slope form using ONE point. Using (0,-1):

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y + 1 = m(x - 0)

Then, use both points to find slope:

`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) =m`

`(-1-(-3))/(0-1)`

`(2)/(-1)=m=-2`

Then, plug the slope into the equation and rewrite in the form of y=mx+b:

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

y + 1 = -2x

y = -2x - 1

-1 = b OR (0, -1)

Final answers:

Equation: y + 1 = -2(x - 0) OR y + 3 = -2(x - 1)

Slope: -2

Y-intercept: (0, -1)

I hope this helps!
