SOLUTION: Find an equation in slope-intercept form (where possible) for the line.y-intercept 3, x-intercept -10

Question 775470: Find an equation in slope-intercept form (where possible) for the line.y-intercept 3, x-intercept -10
Answer by sofiyac(983) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
so basically they gave you two points where the line crosses x and y axis, y intercept means x values is 0 so(0,3) and x intercept means y value is zero so (-10,0)
now you have two points so you can find the slope using the slope formula

next you can use the formula for the line when you have a slope and a point, the formula is
y-y1=m(x-x1) where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point given (you can use either of the two, i'll use (0,3)

now we need to put it in slope intercept form so add 3 to each side
