Answer:
15 = 2x - 3y
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the two points P1(3,-3) and P2(9,1).
First, calculate the slope between those points:
slope
Now simply move 3 steps from (3,-3) towards the y-axis to get the intersection with the y-axis (each step reduces x by 1 and applies the slope to the y-value):
(3,-3)
---> (2, -3 - (2/3)) = (2,-3 2/3)
---> (1, (-3 2/3) - 2/3) = (1, -4 1/3)
---> (0, (-4 1/3) - 2/3) = (0,-5)
This tells us, that our line intersects the y-axis at (0,-5).
The general form of a line is f(x) = <SLOPE> * x + <Y-VALUEATXEQUALSZERO>.
In our case: f(x) = y = (2/3)x -5.
To get it into the correct form, we simply subtract y from both sides and get:
0 = (2/3)x - y - 5
To get only integers just multiply everything with 3 and add 15 and get:
15 = 2x - 3y, which fulfils the form asked for in the problem.
