line segment
2 lines, I believe.
Points: (4, -2) and (6, -3) Slope: -1/2 Straight line equation: y = -1/2x There is no y intercept.
actually, there is, depending on your definition of polygon, and your definition of a line segment. A line segment is the shortest path btwn two points, right? So take a sphere and pick any two points on that sphere. The shortest path between them on the surface of the sphere would be a "curve" along the surface, but it's the shortest path between the points, so it technally is a line segment. Take two of these line segments that intersect at two points, and there is your two sided polygon!
If the points are (b, 2) and (6, c) then to satisfy the straight line equations it works out that b = -2 and c = 4 which means that the points are (-2, 2) and (6, 4)
