Write the equation of the line, given the y and x-intercepts.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Dimas [21]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

y = -(2/3)m - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

recall that the general equation of a straight line in slope-intercept form is

y = mx + b

where, m is the slope and b is the y - intercept

here we are given that the y - intercept is -2, hence the equation becomes:

y = mx + (-2)

or

y = mx -2

we are also given that the x-intercept is -3, which means that when y = 0, x = -3 (simply substitute this into our new equation to solve for m)

0 = m(-3) -2

0 = -3m - 2  (add 3m to both sides)

3m = -2  (divide both sides by 3)

m = -(2/3)

hence our equation is now

y = -(2/3)m - 2
