Answer:

y = x - 2

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 )

To calculate m use the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 1)

m = \frac{1+2}{3-0} = \frac{3}{3} = 1

Note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 2) ⇒ c = - 2

y = x - 2 ← equation of line

Hello There!

Slope: 1

Equation: y = x - 2

Let's start by finding the slope. To find the slope of a given equation, subtract the y values over the x values.

y1 - y2 / x1 - x2 ⇒ 3 - 0 / 1 - - 2 ⇒ 3 / 3 ⇒ 1

This means we have a slope value of 1.

Now, to find an equation. We will find the equation in slope intercept form, or y = mx + b. (In this case, m = the slope and b = the y-intercept, and x and y equal your x and y values fro a given point.)

To get the equation, we need to find the value of b, or the y intercept. To do this, we need to plug in the values we know into the equation.

we know m is the slope, and we know the slope is one so we can place that into the equation. We also know the points (0,-2) (3,1). We can place one of them into the equation for the values x and y.

1 = 1(3) + b

Now, simplify.

1 = 1(3) + b

1 = 3 + b

-2 = b

So, our y intercept is -2, we can plug that into the equation, making our final equation y = x - 2. We don't need to put y = 1x for the slope since multiplying something by 1 is doesn't change the number.

I hope this helps! I know my explanation might have been kind of confusing so if you need more help let me know in the comments !

Determine the value of a so that A = 2i+aj+k and B = 4i-2j-2k are perpendicular​
Digiron [165]
In order to make them perpendicular, their dot product must result in zero. so:

4 \times 2 - 2a - 2 \times 1 = 0

2a = 8 - 2 = 6

a = 3
