Point-slope form is written as : y - y1 = m(x - x1), where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is the point.
The slope (m) is found by the change in Y over the change in X
Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
You can use either given point for x1 and y1 so you would calculate the slope and replace m with the slope, then replace x1 and y1 in the equation with their value.
Answer: y= 3x-1
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of a straight line:
y = mx + b ------(i)
Step by Step Solution:
Step 1: Calculating Slope (m).
m =
y2-y1
x2-x1
m =
2--1
1-0
m =
3
1
m = 3
Now putting value of m in equation (i)
y = 3x + b -----(ii)
Step 2: Calculating Y-intercept (b).
Lets choose the first point, (0,-1) for calculating y-intercept:
y = mx + b
-1 = 3(0) + b
-1 = 0 + b
-1 = b
b = -1
Answer:
B
B is the only one where the x-value doesn't have two y-values
