Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-intercept exists when y = 0; the coordinate that results from our x-intercept is (4, 0).
The y-intercept exists when x = 0; the coordinate that results from our y-intercept is (0, -2).
We can use these 2 coordinates to find the slope of the line we need to write:
Now we can use that slope along with one of our points to write the equation of the line. I am going to use the point-slope form, then we will solve it for y to put it into slope-intercept. Let's use the coordinate (4, 0). Keep in mind that regardless of which point we choose to use to write our equation, we will get the same equation.
y - 0 = 1/2(x - 4) and
y = 1/2x - 2
That's your equation!
