the slope goes by several names
• average rate of change
• rate of change
• deltaY over deltaX
• Δy over Δx
• rise over run
• gradient
• constant of proportionality
however, is the same cat wearing different costumes.
and to get it, we simply need two points off of the straight line, hmm let's use the ones in the picture below.
Answer:
y = -2x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope intercept form of equation is y = mx + c
c is intercept and m is slope
given that slope is -2
m = -2
thus, equation in slope intercept will be
y = -2x + c
The given line passes through (-1,0)
y = -2x + c
lets substitute y = 0 and x = -1 in the given equation
0 = -2*-1 + c
0 = 2 + c
c = -2
Thus, the complete slope intercept equation after using the value of c as -2
we have
y = -2x - 2 answer
180$...uhm yea, someone commented the right answer I guess so here we go
