Question

Find the point-slope form of the equation of the line satisfying the given conditions and use this to write the slope-intercept form of the equation.
x-intercept - 5 and y-intercept = 4

Answer 1

y=(−2)x−-6

Explanation:

Use the slope −2 and the point (−5,4) to find the y-intercept.

y=mx+b

⇒4=(−2×−5)+b

⇒−4=10+b

⇒b=−6

Write the equation in slope intercept form as:

y=mx+b

⇒y=(−2)x−-6
