Question

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line through the given point with the

given slope.
through: (-1,0), slope = -2

Answer 1

y = -2x - 2

Explanation:

Slope intercept form of equation is y = mx + c

c is intercept and m is slope

given that slope is -2

m = -2

thus, equation in slope intercept will be

y = -2x + c

The given line passes through (-1,0)

y = -2x + c

lets substitute y = 0 and x = -1 in the given equation

0 = -2*-1 + c

0 = 2 + c

c = -2

Thus, the complete slope intercept equation after using the value of c as -2

we have

y = -2x - 2 answer
