Question 701318: write linear equation from ordered pairs.
write a linear equation in thr form "y=__________" using the folling info
x-intercept of the equation: 6
y-intercept of the equation: -6
please give me info on how you found your answer...
Answer by neatmath(302) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Because you are given the two intercepts, you have two points.

And any two points will uniquely define a straight line!

(6,0) is the x-intercept

(0,-6) is the y-intercept

Now let's find the slope (rise over run):

Now we have our slope and our y-intercept, given as (0,-6) which is all we need:

where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept

I hope this helps! Keep practicing! :)
