Consider the line that passes through point (-1,-2) and has slope -2. Write the slope intercept form of the equation

Answer 1

point (-1,-2) and slope = -2

It's a downward sloping straight line

y+2 = -2(x+1)

y+2 = -2x -2

y =-2x -4 in slope intercept form. slope =-2, intercept =-4

check the anwer

plug in the point (-1,-2)

-2 = -2(-1) -4 = 2-4 =-2
