Can you please help me solve this problem:Write an equation in slope intercept form, but if it can’t be written in that form write it in standard form.25. x- intercept is 4 & y-intercept is -2

Respuesta :

Given

x- intercept is 4 and y-intercept is -2

Find

equation in slope intercept form

Explanation

equation in slope intercept form is given by

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y - intercept

x - intercept is 4 .

so , coordinate is (4,0)

y-intercept is -2

so , coordinate is (0,-2)

slope of (4,0) and (0,-2) =

[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ \\ m=\frac{-2-0}{0-4} \\ \\ m=\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]

equation =
