Given that a line passes through the following points, write the equation for the line in point slope form and tell me what the slope and y-intercept and x-intercept would be.
Points: (2,0) and (0, -1)
----
Plot those points and you will see that
(2,0) is the x-intercept
and (0,-1) is the y-intercept.
-----
slope = (0--1)/(2-0) = 1/2
----
Equation:
y = (slope)x + (y-intercept)
------------------
y = (1/2)x -1
