Question

Find the equation of the line when the x-intercept is 3, and (-2, 10)

Answer 1

y = -2x +6

Explanation:

For the two points (3, 0) and (-2, 10), the equation of the line can be written using the two-point form.

y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)(x -x1) +y1

y = (10 -0)/(-2 -3)(x -3) +0

y = 10/-5(x -3)

y = -2x +6
