Question

Write the given equation of the line that passes through the given points
(4,0) and (0,2)​

Answer 1

y= -1/2x + 2

or y = -0.5x + 2

Explanation:

Use the slope formula to get the slope:

(y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

(2-0)/(0-4)

2/-4

-1/2

Plug in any point in Point-Slope Formula:

y - y1 = m(x-x1)

y- 0 = -1/2 (x -4)

y = -x/2 + 4/2

y= -1/2x + 2
