Question

The x intercept of a line is -5 and the y-intercept of the line is -2. What is the equation of the line?

Answer 1

x-intercept is a point when line intersect x-axis when y = 0
and y-intercept is a point when line intersect y-axis when x=0
so that will give you 2 order pair
x= -5 when y=0
y=-2 when x=0
use the slope formula to find slope

Answer 2

(-5,0)(0,2)
and pooja will give you the slope formula
gtg :=)

Answer 3

\[\LARGE \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=slope\]

Answer 4

so, the slope would be 2/5x+2?

Answer 5

you have two points
(-5,0) and (0,-2)
what is the change in y ? i.e. what is -2 -0 ?

Answer 6

my bad (0,-2)***
