Question

Find the equation of the line

Answer 1

Answer:

y = (2/3)x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Identify the following points through which the line passes:

(-6, 0) and (0, 4).  (0, 4) is the y-intercept.  

As we go from (-6, 0) to (0, 4), x increases by 6 and y increases by 4.  Hence, the slope of this line is m = rise/run = 4/6 = 2/3.

The equation of the line in the form y = mx + b is y = (2/3)x + 4.
