Question

The graph of a line passes through the points (0, -2) and (6, 0). What is the equation of the line? 1. y = -2x + 6

2. y = 1313x – 6
3.y = 3x – 2
4.y = 1313x – 2

Answer 1

The Answer is: y = 1/3x - 2

Explanation:

Giving points: (0, -2) and (6, 0).

First find the slope:

m = y - y1/(x - x1)

m = -2 - 0/0 - 6

m = -2/-6 = 1/3

Use the point slope form of the equation with point (0, -2) and solve for y:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-2) = 1/3(x - 0)

y + 2 = 1/3x

y = 1/3x - 2

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome day!! :-)
