What is the equation of a line that passes through points (2,0) and (6,-4)

y = - x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m =

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, - 4)

m = = = - 1, thus

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (6, - 4), then

- 4 = - 6 + c ⇒ c = - 4 + 6 = 2

y = - x + 2 ← equation of line

plants store their excess carbohydrate in the form of starch so that it could be used as energy source later on. the excess carbohydrate is converted into starch in the plastid i.e. chloroplast & this process occurs in the presence of sunlight. it is an insoluble polymer of glucose which gets stored in cell organelles named as amyloplasts. in some plants, starch is also stored in roots and embryos.
