The point-slope form is:
where
is the slope
is the y-intercept
-----------------------------
given:

So far I have:

----------------------
The x-intercept occurs where ,
so you are given the point ( -1,0 )
Plug this point into the equation:

----------------------
The equation is:

----------------------
Here's the plot:
