What is the equation of the line
passing through (,)
with the x-intercept half the y-intercept?
where and and we need to find that
use given point (,)

.......solve for
............eq.1
the x-intercept is where
so, ............solve for
...........eq.2
if the x-intercept is the y-intercept, then
so, we have



go back to ............eq.1, substitute and solve for



and, your equation is:
