Question

Can you please help me solve this problem:Write an equation in slope intercept form, but if it can’t be written in that form write it in standard form.25. x- intercept is 4 & y-intercept is -2

Answer 1

Given

x- intercept is 4 and y-intercept is -2

Find

equation in slope intercept form

Step-by-step explanation

equation in slope intercept form is given by

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y - intercept

x - intercept is 4 .

so , coordinate is (4,0)

y-intercept is -2

so , coordinate is (0,-2)

slope of (4,0) and (0,-2) =

`\begin{gathered} m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ \\ m=(-2-0)/(0-4) \\ \\ m=(1)/(2) \end{gathered}`

equation =
