Question

3. The x-intercept of a line is –5 and the y-intercept of the line is –2. What is the equation of the line? (1 point)

Answer 1

(-5,0),(0,-2)
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x)

solve for m 1st

Answer 2

wanna try it?

Answer 3

I got -0.4

Answer 4

correct

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
plug in the numbers u have
m= -0.4
(x1,y1)=(-5,0)

Answer 5

Wait how do I do this?

Answer 6

what is the value for y1?

what is the value for x1?

what is the value for m?

Answer 7

y1 is the y coordinate of one of your points (you choose)
x1 is the x coordingat of the SAME point

m is the gradient of the line

Answer 8

coordinate*

Answer 9

Theresthe answer choices

Answer 10

y - 0 = -0.4*(x - -5)
simplify this
