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

y = 2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form

is;

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

so we have;

y = mx + 2

To get m, substitute the point (-1,0)

So we have

0 = -m + 2

m = 2

So the equation is;

y = 2x + 2

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.
