Answer:

6x-4y=24

Explanation:

From the graph, there are two intersections to be found one at (4,0) and another at (0,-6)

Now,

slope,m= y1-y2/x1-x2

=0+6/4-0

=3/2

The equation of the straight line passingt through the point (4,0) is

y-y1=m(x-x1)

or, y-0=3/2 (x-4)

or, 2y=3x-12

or, 3x-2y=12

or, 2(3x-2y)=2(12) [Multiplying both sides by 2]

or, 6x-4y=24
