Answer:
y = -1/2x - 1
Explanation:
Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b
Slope Formula: [tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
Step 1: Define
(2, -2) random points
(0, -1) y-intercept
Step 2: Find slope m
[tex]m=\frac{-1-(-2)}{0-2}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{-1+2}{-2}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{1}{-2}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{-1}{2}[/tex]
y = -1/2x + b
Step 3: Write linear equation
y = -1/2x - 1
