Question

Find an equation of the line with x-intercept 8 and y-intercept 4

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

eq. of line with intercepts a and b is

$\frac{x}{a} +\frac{y}{b} =1\\here ~eq. ~of ~line~ is ~ \frac{x}{8} +\frac{y}{4} =1\\or x+2y=8$

Answer 2

Answer:

 y = -1/2x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two points ( 8,0) and ( 0,4)

We can find the slope

m =(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = (4-0)/(0-8)

    4/-8

   -1/2

We can use the slope intercept form

 y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

 y = -1/2x + 4
