Question

What is the equation for a slope -1 through the point (2,0)?

Answer 1

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 )

Here m = - 1, thus

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (2, 0) into the partial equation

0 = - 2 + c ⇒ c = 0 + 2 = 2

y = - x + 2 ← equation of line
