Question:

Write the equation of the line with slope -2 and y-intercept(0,0). Then graph the line.

Answer:

The standard slope intercept form of an equation is given by the formula,
y = mx + c, where m is the slope and c is the y intercept.


Here it is given that slope, m = -2 and y intercept = 0

So the equation is given by, y = -2x + 0


That is y = -2x

If you draw the graph, it will come like this....

Hope you found the explanation useful.
