Question

find the equation of a line given the point and slope below. arrange your answer in the form y = mx b, where b is the constant.(-1, 0)m = -2

Answer 1

First, we put the values of the given point into the general equation, giving:
0 = m * -1 + b .......(1)
Now plug in the given value of m into equation (1), giving:
0 = 2 + b ........(2)
Solving equation (2), we find that b = -2.
Now we can write the required equation as:
y = -2x - 2
