Question

Use the given conditions to write an equation for x-intercept = -3/8 and y-intercept = 4 Write an equation for the line in point-slope form.

(Simplify your answer. Use integers or fractions for any

Answer 1

y - 4 = (32/3)x

Explanation:

x-intercept: -3/8

y-intercept: 4

x-intercept: (-3/8, 0)

y-intercept: (0, 4)

slope = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)

slope = (4 - 0)/(0 - (-3/8)) = 4/(3/8) = 32/3

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

y - 4 = (32/3)x
