Solution
0, 0) and (2, −2)
\[\text { Here, } \left( x_1 , y_1 \right) \equiv \left( 0, 0 \right) \]
\[\left( x_2 , y_2 \right) \equiv \left( 2, - 2 \right)\]
So, the equation of the line passing through the two points (0, 0) and (2, −2) is
\[y - y_1 = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\left( x - x_1 \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow y - 0 = \frac{- 2 - 0}{2 - 0}\left( x - 0 \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow y = - x\]
