Question

Find an equation of the line that passes through the point and has the indicated slope m. (Let x be the independent variable and y be the dependent variable.) (1, 1); m = −1

Answer 1

Answer:

y=-1*x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

We start with the equation of the line y=m*x+b and are given m=-1

Also we are given that the point (1,1) satisfies the equation, this mieans that we replace (x,y) for (1,1)

1=-1*1+b this gives us an equation that can be solved for b

b=1+1

So the general formula for generic x,y is y=-1*x+2
