Algebra.Com's Answer #343277 by mananth(16946)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Consider the equation y= mx+b\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since the line bisects two Quadrants It passes through the origin.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the y intercept is =0\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so the equation will be y=x\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "but the line will be from left to right sloping downwards passing the IV quadrant.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so it will have negative slope\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The equation will be y=-x\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
