Question

Write the equation of the line, given the y- and x-intercepts.

y-intercept (0, 7), x-intercept (–1.4, 0)

Answer 1

y=mx + b

b represents the y intercept, which is given, b=7

so y=mx+7

Use the other point to find out m

0=-1.4m+7 =>m=5

the equation is y=5x+7

Explanation:

Answer 2

y=mx + b
b represents the y intercept, which is given, b=7
so y=mx+7
Use the other point to find out m
0=-1.4m+7 =>m=5
the equation is y=5x+7
