Question

If L is the line having x -intercept of -1 and y -intercept of 3, complete the equation of L . y = -x + 3 y = -3x + 3 y = 3x + 3

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 3x + 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 = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 3) ← x and y- intercepts

m = $\frac{3-0}{0+1}$ = $\frac{3}{1}$ = 3

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

y = 3x + 3 ← equation of line
