Answer:
y = -0.5x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
m=(y2−y1)/(x2−x1)
m=(1-2)/(2-0)
m (slope) = -1/2 or -0.5
y = mx + b (we need b now, y-int)
1 = -0.5(2) + b
b - 1 = 1
b = 2
Now we have the slope (m) and the y-intercept (b), we can rewrite it as such:
y = -0.5x + 2
Hope this helped!
*Remember the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is y=mx+b. In this problem, we found the slope and y-intercept.
