Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (1,0) and has a slope of 1 ?

Answer 1

Answer:

y = x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 1 , thus

y = x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (1, 0) into the partial equation

0 = 1 + c ⇒ c = 0 - 1 = - 1

y = x - 1 ← equation of line
