To write this equation, you need use the formula y=mx+b.
m represents the slope and b represents the y intercept.
The y intercept is the point where the line touches the y axis. In this case, the y-intercept is 1.
The slope is just rise over run from one coordinate to another. The slope is 2/-1 which could be simplified as -2. The slope just means that we are going up 2 and left 1 to get to a new coordinate.
The equation is y=-2x+1
Have a good day! :)
Yes. That's exactly right. Good work.
Answer:
5 units
Step-by-step explanation;
We can use the formula for finding the length or magnitude of line joining two points.
Length = √((x2-x1)² + (y2-y1)²)
The points joining the line are C (-1,4) and D (2,0)
Length = √((2+1)² + (0-4)²)
= √((3²) + (-4)²)
= √ (9+16)
= √25
= 5 units
