SOLUTION: Write the general equation that defines a linear function: Has x-intercept of 6 and y-intercept of 9.

Question 818268: Write the general equation that defines a linear function:
Has x-intercept of 6 and y-intercept of 9.
Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x-intercept and y-intercept are two points on the line:
---
given:
x-intercept = (6, 0)
y-intercept = (0, 9)
---
use the two-point form of the linear equation:
---
plug this (the two points given):
6, 0, 0, 9
into the Two-Point form: x1 y1 x2 y2 input box here:

---
slope = -1.5
y-intercept = 9 (already given in the problem statement)
---
Answer:
the slope-intercept form of the line is:
y = -1.5x + 9
