Question

write an equation in slope intercept form for the line that satisfies the following conditions x intercept 12 and y intercept 14

Answer 1

if they are telling you the x intercept and y intercept you have your two points which will lead you into the problem!
x intercept: 12
y intercept: 14

x intercept point: (12,0)
y intercept point: (0,14)

Now does this make the question easier?:)

Answer 2

y=mx+b is the form you want
m = slope
b = y intercept
so you know it looks like this
y = mx+14
we must find what m is, so we use the point they gave you for the x intercept
(12,0) so make x = 12 and y = 0
0 = m(12)+14
can you solve for m?

Answer 3

equation of the line with x-intercept 'a' and y-intercept 'b'
is given by
x/a + y/b =1
here a=12 and b=14

Answer 4

so check
x/12 +y/14 =1
7x+6y=84

Answer 5

The eq of line in double intercept form is given as below
\[\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b}=1\]
where a= x intercept = 12 and b= y intercept = 14
\[\frac{x}{12} + \frac{y}{14}=1\]
i.e. 14x+ 12y= 168 which is the required eq of the line.
