Question

Write an equation in point-slope form. Crossing the x-axis at x = -3 and the y-axis at y = 6​

Answer 1

y = 2x + 6

Explanation:

The equation for a linear line is y = mx + c.

We know we want it to cross the y-axis at 6, so the y-intercept (c) can be assumed to be 6.

If we substitute in the x that we want, we end up with this:

0 = m(-3) + 6

m = 2

So now we can form the equation:

y = 2x + 6
