(-2,-2) and (0,0)

Question

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line through the given points.

Answer 1

slope = difference in y values divided by difference in x values = (0--2)/(0--2) = 2/2 = 1=(y-0)/(x-0) = y/x

y/x = 1

y=1(x)

y = x

in slope intercept form, more explicitly, y=mx+b, with m=1, b=0

y = (1)x + 0

just looking at the two points, you may notice x=y for both points -2=-2 and 0=0
