linear equation is: where is a slope and is a y-intercept; so, we need and
Determine the equation of
from the graph we see that the line passing through points C =(,) and D=(,) which means:
if =>
and
if => => a x-intercept
then we will use these points to set the system of two equations to find and
........if , we have
........eq.1

........if (,) we have
........eq.2
solve the system:
........eq.1
........eq.2
----------------------------------------------subtract eq.1 from eq.2




now find
........eq.2




so, your equation is:
