The equation of this line is given by:
y = -1/2x + 1.
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
Given two points, the slope is given by <u>change in y divided by change in x</u>. In this problem, we have points (0,1) and (2,0), hence:
m = (1 - 0)/(0 - 2) = -1/2.
Point (0,1) also means that the y-intercept is of b = 1, hence the equation of this line is given by:
y = -1/2x + 1.
