Hi,
*Note: put into the general slope-intercept format y = mx + b where m is the slope and b the y-intercept (the value of y where the line croasses the y-axis
.
-2x - y = 0
y = -2x
.
Slope of the line is -(2/1) (change in y over change in x)
(line slopes to the left as the slope is a negative number
.
y -intercept is 0. Pt(0,0) a point on the line.
.
Slope tells us Pt(1, -2) and Pt(-1, 2)are on the line.
