Answer 1

Answer

y = (1/2)x - 1

Explanation

The first step is to get the gradient of the line.

The two points in the line are; (2,0) and (-2, -2).

Gradient = (-2 - 0)/(-2, - 2)

                = -2/-4

                 = 1/2

To get the function we use one of the point (2,0) and a general point (x,y).

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

1/2 = y/(x - 2)

(x - 2) = 2y

2y = x - 2

y = (1/2)x - 1
