SOLUTION: x-intercept 2, y- intercept 1/3 [write an equation for this line]

Question 805980: x-intercept 2, y- intercept 1/3 [write an equation for this line]
Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Use the intercept form: x/a + y/b = 1
---
where a is the x-intercept and b is the y-intercept:
a = 2
b = (1/3)
---
x/a + y/b = 1
x/2 + y/(1/3) = 1
x/2 + 3y = 1
3y = -x/2 + 1
---
Answer:
y = (-1/6)x + (1/3)
