Question

Write the equation of the line, in point-slope form. Identify (x1 y2) as slope (-2,2). Use the box provided to submit all of your calculations and final answers.

Answer 1

Answer:

y + 2 = -1(x - 2)

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

• Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Algebra I

Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)  

• x₁ - x coordinate

• y₁ - y coordinate

• m - slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (-2, 2)

Point (2, -2)

Step 2: Find slope m

1. Substitute:                    $m=\frac{-2-2}{2+2}$
2. Subtract/Add:               $m=\frac{-4}{4}$
3. Divide:                          $m=-1$

Step 3: Write equation

Point-Slope Form:   y + 2 = -1(x - 2)

And we have our final answer!
