What is the equation of the line with an x-intercept of -2 and a y-intercept of 1?

the desired line is y = (1/2)x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Write these two points as (0, 1) and (-2, 0).

Now, as we go from (-2, 0) to (0, 1), x increases by 2 and y increases by 1.  Thus, the slope, m, of the desired line is m = rise / run = 1 / 2.

Then the desired line is y = (1/2)x + 1 (since b is already given as (0, 1) )

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4
