Question

What is the equation of the line, in general form, that passes through the point (1, 1) and has a y-Intercept

of 2
Ox+y20
Ox-y + 20
OX-y-20

Answer 1

y = -x + 2

Explanation:

The equation of line is often written in the form;

y = mx + c

y and x are the coordinates

m is the slope

c is the intercept

From the given parameters;

c = 2

(1,1) are the coordinates

Let us find the slope of the line;

1 = m(1) + 2

1 = m + 2

m = 1- 2 = -1

The equation of the line is;

y = -1x + 2

y = -x + 2
