Question

Write an equation of the line slope= -1; (2, 0)

Answer 1

y=-1x+2

Explanation:

Using the equation y=mx+b, where: y=y value, m=slope, x=x value and, b=y-intercept. Just by plugging in the information you get 0=1(2)+b.

Then, solving for B, you get: 2=b. This sets the problem up as: y=--1x+2

This is a true statement because when the plot point is added back into the problem, and it is solved, 0=0.
