To find the equation of the line passing through the points A(-2, 0) and B(0, -1), we can first determine the slope of the line using the formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (-1 - 0) / (0 - (-2)) = -1 / 2
Now that we have the slope, we can use the point-slope form of a linear equation to find the final equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Using point A(-2, 0) as a reference:
0 = -1/2*(-2) + b
0 = 1 + b
b = -1
Therefore, the equation of the line is:
y = -1/2x - 1
The correct response is:
y = -1/2x - 1.
