My homework asks me to write the point-slope form of the equation for the line that has x-intercept -3 and y-intercept -2.

Question

My problem is i don't know how to calculate this even when a teacher tried to explain it to me.

Answer 1

(x/-3) + (y/-2) = 1 is the 2 intercept form

Multiply it by -6:

2x + 3y = -6

3y = -2x-6

y= (-2/3)x - 2

This is the slope-intercept form.

Pick a point on the line and then use the slope and that point to write it in the form required.
