Write the equation of the line that passes through the given points.
​(-4​,​0) and ​(​0,-2​)

Sagot :

Answer:

y = -1/2x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First thing you want to do is find the slope.

Slope = y^2 - y^1 / x^2 - x^1

m = -2 - 0 / 0 - (-4)

m = -2 / 4

m = -1/2 ---> this is your slope.

Let's find the y-intercept of the equation now using either of the given points. I'll pick (-4, 0).

y = mx + b

0 = -1/2(-4) + b

0 = 4/2 + b

0 = 2 + b

-2   -2

------------------------

-2 = b

So, y = -1/2x - 2 is the equation of the line that passes through (-4, 0) and (0, -2).
