Question

Find the equation of the line. Use exact numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 1/2 x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the y intercept is -3

We need two points to find the slope

(0,-3) and (6,0)

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

  =(0 - -3)/( 6-0)

  (0+3)/(6-0)

    3/6

  1/2

The slope is 1/2 and the y intercept is -3

y = mx+b  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 1/2 x-3
