To find the parametric equation of the line with slope -2 passing through (-10,-20)
Given slope m=yx=ysxs=2
xs=1,ys=2
Also (x1,y1)=(10,20)
The parametric equations of the line is given by
x=x1+xst
y=y1+yst
Substituting the values we have
x=x1+xst=10+1t=t10
y=y1+yst=202t=2t20
Hence x=t-10, y=-2t-20 are the required parametric equations.
