Question 626633: what is the equation of a straight line where the gradient is -2 through coordinates 1,3. as simple breakdown as possible please its been a long time. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! what is the equation of a straight line where the gradient is -2 through coordinates 1,3.
------
Equation form: y = mx + b
Determine "m" and "b"
------------
m = slope = gradient = -2
---
Substitute to find "b":
3 = -2*1 + b
b = 5
----
Equation:
y = -2x + 5
