Answer:
[tex]y = - x-1[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The line a passes through th points (-1,0) and (0,-1)
The equation of line which is passes through the point [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] is
[tex](y-y_1)= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} (x-x_1)[/tex]
Therefore the equation of line which passes through the points (-1,0) and (0,-1)
is
[tex]y-0=\frac{-1-0}{0-(-1)} [x-(-1)][/tex] [ [tex]x_1 = -1, y_1= 0[/tex] [tex]x_2 = 0[/tex] and [tex]y_2 = -1[/tex]]
[tex]\Leftrightarrow y = -1 (x+1)[/tex]
[tex]\Leftrightarrow y = - x-1[/tex]
