no that is wrong sorry did not read it all

anonymous · Answer

slope is rise over run. I.e. chang in y/ change in x. so if you add one to the x componet you would have to add 2 to the y componet

itsonlycdeee · Answer

y= mx + b
-1 = 0 ( 2) +b
b = -1 ;  therefore ...

anonymous · Answer

(0,-1) + (1,2) would give you (1,1) which is one of the points you listed

anonymous · Answer

thank u guys

anonymous · Answer

no problem. just remember (change in y)/(change in x) = slope and try to find some multiple of that fraction
