What is the equation of the line with an x-intercept of -1 and a y-intercept of 2?
1 answer:
Answer:
y = 2x + 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 )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 2) ← coordinates of intercepts
m = = 2
Note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 2) ⇒ c = 2
y = 2x + 2 ← equation of line
