Question

Right the point slope form of the equation of the line with a slope of -2 and an x-intercept of -1

Answer 1

Answer:

The point slope form of this equation would be y - 0 = -2(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we start by identifying that the x-intercept at -1 is the point (-1, 0). Now we can use that full point and the slope and plug them into the base form of point-slope form.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 0 = -2(x - -1)

y - 0 = -2(x + 1)
