Answer:

The equation of this line would be y = -2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find any line given a slope and a point, use the base form of point-slope form and plug in the known values. Then solve for y.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 1 = -2(x - 2)

y - 1 = -2x + 4

y = -2x + 5

-2 is Greater than -4

Step-by-step explanation:

-4 is more Negative, therefore it’s considered as Less than -2.

If u Consider the Number Line,

negative numbers(Left), 0, Positive Numbers(right)

The number on the right side is more greater than on the Left

-2 is greater because it’s nearer positive values

Therefore -2 is Greater than -4

In slope intercept form what is the equation of the line having a slope of 5 and passing through the point (-6,-26)

____ [38]

Slope/gradient = 5
y= MX + C
(-6,-26)
-6 is x1 and -26 is y1
so therefore y= 5x -26
