same as before, is the proportion of one, the same as the other? let's do the same here without much fuss.
Therefore the equation of the line in function-form is f(x)=-2x-1
An equation of a line on the cartesian plane is given by y=mx+c. Here m denotes the slope of the line and c denotes the y-intercept.
Slope of a line is defined as the inclination of the line along the positive x- axis . Slope is calculated by the formula where
and
are two points on the line.
y-intercept is defined as the point where the line passes through the y-axis.
From the graph we can see that the line passes through (0,-1)and (-1,1)
therefore slope of the line is
Now we know that the equation of a line passing through a point and with slope m is given by
Substituting the values in the equation we get
y-(-1)=-2(x-0)
or, y=-1-2x
Therefore the equation of the line in function-form is f(x)=-2x-1 .Hence the second option is correct.
