Question

What is the equation of the line with anxintercept of -2 and a y-intercept of 1?

Answer 1

The equation of line is `y=1/2x+1`

Explanation:

Co-ordinate of x-intercept is `(-2,0)`
Co-ordinate of y-intercept is `(0,1)`
The equation of line passing above point `0,1` is `y-1=m(x-0) or y=mx+1`
The slope of line passing above two points is `m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(1-0)/(0-(-2))=1/2`

Hence the equation of line is `y=1/2x+1` graph{x/2+1 [-10, 10, -5, 5]} [Ans]
