Question

Find the equation to the line below.

Answer 1

y=-1/1x

Explanation:

First, let's take the slope of a line equation:

y=mx+b

Now, all we have to do is find the slope(m) and the y-intercept(b).

The line intercepts the y axis at 0, so b=0.

Next, find the slope.

The equation to FIND slope is rise/run, so we can solve that:

1/1=1, but since the line goes down, it's negative.

The slope is 1, so m=1.

Now, put that into m.

y=-1x+0, but we don't need 0, so the answer is y=-1x.
