Question

(2,-2) and (0, -1) linear equation

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -1/2x - 1

Explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step 1: Define

(2, -2) random points

(0, -1) y-intercept

Step 2: Find slope m

$m=\frac{-1-(-2)}{0-2}$

$m=\frac{-1+2}{-2}$

$m=\frac{1}{-2}$

$m=\frac{-1}{2}$

y = -1/2x + b

Step 3: Write linear equation

y = -1/2x - 1
