Question

*100 POINTS*

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -2x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to write down the equation of this line in slope-intercept form we will need to know the slope and the y intercept. Since the y intercept is the value of y when x = 0, from this we know that in our case the y intercept is - 4. Now in order of find the slope we can choose any two points on the linear function and then divide the rise by the run of the slope (if you want to understand this more you can read about how to find the slope). In our case I took two points (-2, 0) and (0, -4). Form here we know that the slope is....

Let "m" be the slope...

$m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1} }= \frac{-4 - 0}{0 + 2} = \frac{-4}{2} = -2$

We know that the slope-intercept looks like y = mx + b (where m is the slope and b is the intercept) so since we know both the slope and the y interest we can conclude the following.

The equation of the linear function show is y = -2x - 4
