Question

If the x- intercept is 1, and (-2,6) find the equation of the line using the point-slope formula.

Answer 1

x intercept is 1 which is the point (1,0)

another point is (-2,6)

the slope = 6/-3 =-2

y-0= -2(x-1) in point slope form

or

y =-2x+2 in slope intercept form

or you could have used either point for the point slope form

y-6 = -2(x+2)
