For example can anyone show me how this looks?Passing through (6,2) with x-intercept 3. write an equation for the line slope-intercept form

Question

pfenn1 · Answer

The x-intercept is the point wher the line crosses the x-axis, or where y = 0. So this is exactly like finding a line that passes through two points....(3, 0) and (6, 2).  Do you know how to find this?

anonymous · Answer

think so

pfenn1 · Answer

ask if you have any more questions

anonymous · Answer

okay

kinggeorge · Answer

You'll want to start with point slope form with the points (6, 2) and (3, 0)

anonymous · Answer

for that part i get 2/3 correct

kinggeorge · Answer

The slope should be 3/2 not 2/3.

kinggeorge · Answer

I'm sorry :( I just realized I was terribly terribly wrong.

You are correct that the slope should be 2/3. This sets up the relation $$y-0={2 \over 3}(x-3)$$Solving this, we get that $$y={2 \over 3}x-2$$
