Question

Find an equation for the linear function which has y-intercept (0,−6) and x-intercept (11,0).

Answer 1

For this case we have an equation of the form:
y = mx + b
Where,
The slope of the line is:
m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
m = (0 - (- 6)) / (11-0)
m = 6/11
The value of b is given by:
b = -6
Substituting values we have:
y = (6/11) x - 6
Answer:
An equation for the linear function is:
y = (6/11) x - 6
