Answer:
y = 3x - 6
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 )
calculate m using the slope formula
m =
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 0) ← 2 points on the line
m = =
=
= 3
the line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 6 ) ⇒ c = - 6
y = 3x - 6 ← equation of line L
<h3>Answer: 5 units</h3>
Work Shown:
I used the distance formula. Alternatively, you can plot the two points and form a right triangle. Then use the pythagorean theorem. The distance formula is effectively a modified version of the pythagorean theorem.
