Question

Jeremy claims that if a linear function has a slope of the same steepness and the same y-intercept as the linear function in the graph, then it must be the same function.
On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points (0, negative 1) and (2, 0).

Which equation is a counterexample to Jeremy’s argument?

y = negative one-half x minus 1
y = negative one-half x + 1
y = one-half x minus 1
y = one-half x + 1

Answer 1

Answer:

y= 1/2x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

(0, -1), (2, 0)

y= mx + b

m= 1/2 (0.5)

b = -1

Answer 2

The answer is Ym=1/2
