Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
The y=mx+b is a very common format used in math. In order to use this format, we need to find out where certain numbers go into their placements. We have -2x, y, and 1.
First, we know that y is already in the equation, we just need to move it. Next, we know that -2x is mx in this situation because of the variable x. Let's plug in what we know so far.
y = -2x + _
One, being the left over number, represents b in this situation. But don't be fooled, the left over number isn't always b, we just got lucky in this math problem. Now we have:
y = -2x + 1.
This is a linear equation that would go on a graph.
I hope that this helps.
