Question

will give medal please help

Answer 1

What is the equation of the line that contains the two points
(0, ) and (, )?

Answer 2

0,-1

-1, -3

Answer 3

@iGreen

Answer 4

First, find the slope.

\(m = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

\(m = \dfrac{-3+1}{-1-0}\)

Can you finish that? @ispike

Answer 5

so 2

Answer 6

Yep.

Answer 7

So the slope is 2.

Answer 8

is there more ? i feel like there is

Answer 9

Now we can plug that and one of the points into point-slope form.

\(y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\)

Where \(m\) is the slope, \(y_1\) is the y-value, and \(x_1\) is the x-value.

We can use the point (0, -1).

\(y + 1 = 2(x - 0)\)

Simplify:

\(y + 1 = 2(x)\)

Multiply:

\(y + 1 = 2x\)

Subtract 1 to both sides, what do you get? @ispike

Answer 10

y=2x-1?

Answer 11

Yep, so that's your answer.

Answer 12

That's your equation.. y = 2x - 1.

Answer 13

thank you
