Question

What is the equation of the line?

a. y= -1/2x+1/2
b. y= -2/1x+1
c. y= -1/2x+1
d. y= -2/1x+1/2

Answer 1

A) y = -1/2x + 1/2

Explanation:

Find the y-intercept(when x = 0), which is 1/2.

Find the slope: m = y2-y1 / x2-x1

I used points: (3, -1), (-3,2)

m = 2 - (-1) / -3 - 3

m = 3 / - 6

m = -1/2

plug this into the slope intercept form equation: y = mx + b

y = -1/2x + 1/2
