Question

How do you write an equation of a line with slope -1 and y-intercept -2?

Answer 1

`y = -x-2`

Explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be written as `y = mx +c`.

`m` represents the slope and `c`is the y-intercpet.

You have been given values for both of these, so just write them into the equation.

`m= -1 and c = -2`

`y = -1x-2`, which is better as

`y = -x-2`
