Question

Find the slope-intercept form of the line that passes through given the point and has the given slope. Include your work in your final answer. Type your answer in the box provided or use the upload option to submit your solution.

(-1, 0)
m = -2

Answer 1

`y=-2x-2`

Explanation:

The equation of the line with the slope
`m` passing trough the point
`(x_1,y_1)` is

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

In your case, the slope of the line is
`m=-2` and line is passing through the point
`(-1,0),` then

`m=-2,\\ \\x_1=-1\\ \\y_1=0`

Substitute these values into the equation above:

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