directions: write an equation for the line that satisfies each of the given conditions in the slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) and standard form (ax+by=c)

question: x-intercept= -3, y-intercept=6

anonymous · Answer

this means you have the points 
$$(-3,0)$$and 
$$(0,6)$$ on the graph. find the slope via 
$$\frac{6-0}{0+3}=2$$
and then since you already have the y  intercept you can write 
$$y=2x+6$$
