Question 696683: Hi. My teacher makes us use www.assistments.org and the problems on there are really hard because I dont understand them. If you get a certain amount wrong, you get locked out and you have to try again another day. I dont understand the linear equations because my teacher does the notes too fast for me to keep up with the lesson. How can I? Write a linear equation in the form "y = ______________" using the following information about the equation:

X-intercept of the equation: -10
Y-intercept of the equation: 3

Write a linear equation in the form "y = ______________" using the following information about the equation:
X-intercept of the equation: (-10,0)
Y-intercept of the equation: (0,3)
================
slope = (3-0)/(0--10) = 3/10
-----
Equation:
y = mx + b
y = (3/10)x + 3
===================
