Question

What is the equation of the line? Please help asap!!!! First Correct answer will get brainestttttt !!

Answer 1

Answer:

3y= -2x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

The two points on the line are (-3,0) and (0,-2)

so you first get the gradient;

gradient= change in y

change in x

= -2-0

0-(-3)

= -2

3

so the answer above is the gradient

then pick one point that you used to get the gradient with, so as for me I'll pick (-3,0) and then a general point which is always (x, y)

since you have the gradient you can easily get the equation by doing this

y-0. = -2

x-(-3). 3

then crossmultiply to get the equation of the line

3y= -2(x+3)

3y= -2x-6
