The equation of the line with x-intercept 2 and y-intercept 1 can be written in the form y= mx+b where

Question

The number m is :
The number b is:

Answer 1

x-intercept 2 and y-intercept 1
implies you have the two points (2,0) and (0,1)
slope = (1-0)/(0-2) = -1/2

y = (-1/2)x + 1

what are your thoughts ?

Answer 2

or, start with the intercept form of the line:

x/2 + y/1 = 1
