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

Question

nnesha · Answer

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

nnesha · Answer

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

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

anonymous · Answer

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

phi · Answer

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

nnesha · Answer

my bad  (0,-2)***
