Question

how do you write an equation fot the line passing through (-3,5) and (-1,5) and find both intercepts x and y

Answer 1

why not first try to find the slope of the line.
\[(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)\]

Answer 2

use double point fomula
y-y1 = ((y2-y1)/(x2-x1))*(x - x1)
to find intercepts, for x, put y=0 in equation and find the value of x, that is your x intercept
for y, put x=0 likewise

Answer 3

i thought to find the slope it was y-y1/x-x1

Answer 4

what did you get with that equation?

Answer 5

ok i figured that out.thanks
