ANSWER ASAP PLS <3

Write the point-slope form of the equation of the line with a slope of -2 and an x-intercept of -1.

Respuesta :

Answer:

y = -2(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

x-intercept of -1 means y=0 when x=-1, so you have your (x₁, y₁) value of (-1, 0).

Slope is -2 so m=-2.

Plug into point-slope formula:

y = m(x - x₁) + y₁

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

y = -2(x + 1)
