Question

Write the equation of the line given the points (2,0) and (3.-1)

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -1x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find y = mx + b

Use the following equation

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Plug in the values

$\frac{-1-0}{3-2}$  = $\frac{-1}{1} = -1$

We have found the slope(m) which is -1

We have to find y-int b

Plug in any given x,y into the slope formula

-1 = -1(3) + b

-1 = -3 + b

2 = b

At last the formula is

y = -1x + 2
