Answer:
...
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = -
x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = ![\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7By_%7B2%7D-y_%7B1%7D%20%20%7D%7Bx_%7B2%7D-x_%7B1%7D%20%20%7D)
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 4.5, 0 ) ← coordinates of intercepts
m =
=
=
= - ![\frac{2}{3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B3%7D)
The line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 3 ) ⇒ c = - 3
y = -
x - 3 ← equation of line
