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

the desired line is y = (1/2)x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Write these two points as (0, 1) and (-2, 0).

Now, as we go from (-2, 0) to (0, 1), x increases by 2 and y increases by 1.  Thus, the slope, m, of the desired line is m = rise / run = 1 / 2.

Then the desired line is y = (1/2)x + 1 (since b is already given as (0, 1) )

Step-by-step explanation:

-35 x - 625 = 21875 so positive

263 x 0 = 0 so zero

-21 x 451 = - 9471 so negative

-350 x 89 = - 31150 so negative
