(-3,0) and (0,-2)
slope = (-2 - 0)/(0 + 3) = -2/3
b = -2
so equation
y = -2/3(x) - 2

answer
B. f(x) = -2/3(x) - 2

Let's find the slope-intercept equation of this line. You can read off the y-intercept immediately; it's the place where x= 0 and the line crosses the y-axis. Here that intercept is b=-2.

The coordinates of that point are (0,-2).

Now let's find the slope of the line. Starting at (0,-2) move to the left 3 units (because -3 is the x-coordinate of the intersection of the line with the x-axis). From (0,-2), how far UP along the y-axis to the x-axis is it?

slope = rise / run. In this case, starting from (0,-2), and moving 3 units to the left, we get "run" = -3. Starting from (0,-2) and moving straight up to the x-axis, we get "rise" = 2.

The slope is then m = rise / run = 2/-3, or m = -2/3.

Thus, the equation of this line is y = mx + b, or y = (-2/3)x - 2.

Alright, so this is simple.

P= 50,000 or 50 thousands

G= 13 Tons

The variable f isn't known.

So your equation would be 13 = 50 (f), if you were to put your known variables in the equation.

If you were to find variable f, you would divide 13 tons by 50,000 to get 0.00026 or in scientific notation: 2.6 x 10 (exponent(s):-4)

$y = - \frac{28}{48x - 15} - \frac{125}{321}$ is the answer.
