Find an equation of the line with a y-intercept of -3 and an x-intercept of -4.5

Sagot :

Answer:

y = - [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] x - 3

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 = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 4.5, 0 ) ← coordinates of intercepts

m = [tex]\frac{0-(-3)}{-4.5-0}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{0+3}{-4.5-0}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{-4.5}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 3 ) ⇒ c = - 3

y = - [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] x - 3 ← equation of line
