Question

Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a coordinate plane with four quadrants. The x-axis ranges from negative 3 to 3 in one unit increments. The y-axis ranges from negative 3 to 6 in one unit increments. A downward slanting line is graphed on the coordinate plane. The line passes through two plotted points. The points have coordinates at left parenthesis negative 1 comma 4 right parenthesis and left parenthesis 1 comma 0 right parenthesis.

y=2x+2
y equals 2 x plus 2

y=2x−2
y equals 2 x minus 2

y=−2x−2
y equals negative 2 x minus 2

y=−2x+2

Answer 1

Slope = (0−4)/(1−(−1)) = −4/2 = −2. Using (1,0): y = −2(x−1) = −2x+2.

Answer: y = −2x + 2.
