Question

What is the equation of the line with an x-intercept of -2 and a y-intercept of 1?

Answer 1

Y=-2x+1. X=(-2,0) Y=(0,1)

Answer 2

Answer:

y=1/-2bx-1

Step-by-step explanation:

The line with the x-intercept -2 and y-intercept 1.

Use the slope-intercept equation of the line:

y=mx+b

y-intercept = b = (0, 1)

x-intercept = (-2, 0)

Plugging in the values of (-2, 0):

0=(m)(-2)+1 [solve for the m=value]

0=-2m+1

1=-2m

1/-2=m

.

y=mx+b [plug-in the slope and the y-intercept (b)]

y=7/5bx - 7
