Question

Find the slope-intercept form of the line that satisfies the given conditions.

x-intercept −7,  y-intercept −6

Answer 1

that's 2 points (0,-6) and (-7,0). They have slope = (-6-0)/(0--7) = -6/7 = m = slope

y intercept is the y value of (0,-6) = -6 = b

plug into the general equation

y=mx+b

y=(-6/7)x -6
