Write an equation of the line in slope intercept form.

Answer 1

y=
`(-1)/(2)`x+1

Explanation:

First, let's do the easiest part, finding the y-intercept, which shows up at the end of your slope intercept equation, y=mx+b, where slope is rise over run!

- Simply look for where the coordinate is on the y-intercept, which is at y = 1!

Then, we need to find our rise over run, which is basically counting from point a to point b. To get to the lower coordinate from the top, we go down two (-2), and over 4. Which means we "rose" -2, and "ran" 4! It's -2 because we went DOWN, and positive 4 because we went FORWARD. This gave us 2 over 4, which is the same as 1 over 2!
