Well, the x-intercept is at -4, that means, the graph touches the x-axis at -4, or when x = -4, what's the value of "y" when that happens? well, if the graph touches the x-axis, the y-value has gone all the way down to 0, and thus y = 0, therefore the point at that x-intercept is ( -4, 0 )
so, what's the equation of a line that passes through (-3,2) and (-4,0)?
