Question

Can you help me @mathstudent55 ? Write an equation in slope-intercept, point-slope, or standard form for the line with the given information. Explain why you chose the form you used.
A. has an x-intercept of 6 and a y-intercept of 3

Answer 1

Slope-intercept form is \(y = mx + b\)
Point-slope is \(y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \)
Standard form is \(ax + by = c\)

Since you are given the y-intercept, it's easy to use the slope-intercept form.
All we need to find is the slope.

slope = \(m = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \)

Start by using the two intercepts to find the slope.
The x-intercept is (6, 0), and the y-intercept is (0, 3).

Use those two points to find m, the slope. Then use b = 3 and the slope in the slope-intercept form of the equation.
