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

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

Please help I have no idea how to do this!!!
Ronch [10]

Answer:

You have to graph and label the points

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-5 is just a straight line which is lesser than or equal to -1 so that is a closed circle

-2x+3 is another straight line which is (both open circle) which its domain is restricted from -1 to 4

2 is just a horizontal line starting at (closed circle) 4, it is greater than also.

If you don't understand the the constants (the numbers on their own) just a vertical translation.

If the cross either the x or y axis, you have to find that too, im pretty sure.  

To find the y axis intercept, make x = 0 and solve for y

and to find the x axis intercept, make y = 0 and solve for x

Can someone please make me understand this please!!!

The slope would be 1/2. Slope is rise/run. Your rise would be 2. And your run would be 4. 2/4. And that simplified is 1/2. Do I need to explain more? Or do you get it? I would be glad to assist
