Question

X – intercept = 7, y – intercept = 14

Answer 1

y = - 2x + 14

Explanation:

Assuming you require the equation of the line through the 2 points

x- intercept = 7 , that is (7, 0 ) in coordinate form

y- intercept = 14, that is (0, 14 ) in coordinate form

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

let (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, 0 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 14) ← the x and y intercepts

m =
`(14-0)/(0-7)` =
`(14)/(-7)` = - 2

given the y- intercept, c = 14

y = - 2x + 14 ← equation of line
