Question 1142256
.


&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The &nbsp;"solution" &nbsp;and the &nbsp;"answer" &nbsp;by &nbsp;@josgarithmetic are both &nbsp;&nbsp;<U>TOTALLY &nbsp;WRONG</U>.


&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For your safety, &nbsp;simply ignore it . . . 


&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I came to bring the correct solution.



<pre>
y-intercept is  (0, 2).

x-intercept is  ( -1/2, 0).

The slope  m =  {{{2/((-1/2))}}} = -4.



The equation is 

    y-2 = (-4)*(x-0)

or

    y-2 = -4x,        (point-slope form)

or, equivalently,

    y = -4x + 2       (slope intercept form).
</pre>

Solved.

@josgarithmetic, since your equation is INCORRECT even after your fixing, make it EASIER:



&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;EITHER delete all your writing, OR accurately cross every line by red (which is PREFERABLE) . . .
