Question

Find the equation of the line passing through the points (0,1) and (-2,0). write the equation in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

First of all, you have to calculate slope of that,

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (1-0)/(0+2) = 1/2

now, equation would be y-y1 = m(x-x1)

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

y-1 = x/2

y = x/2+ 1
