In a Cartesian plane, we learn many such terms which represent a point, or a line, or cooridnates of some points etc
Such terms are:
- Origin (Intersection of x axis and y-axis.)
- x - axis (Horizontal line)
- y - axis (Vertical line)
- abscisaa (x -coordinate)
- ordinate (y - coordinate)
Answer:
y = - 2x - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, - 8)
m = =
= - 2, thus
y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
Using (- 2, - 2), then
- 2 = 4 + c ⇒ c = - 2 - 4 = - 6
y = - 2x - 6 ← equation of line
