Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.

Question

0,2 1,-1

Answer 1

First, calculate the slope (m) using the two points.

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (-1 - 2) / (1 - 0)
m = -3

Now, use the slope-intercept form of a line (y = mx + b) and plug in one of the points to solve for b:

2 = -3(0) + b
2 = b

Thus, the equation of the line in slope-intercept form is:

y = -3x + 2
