Answer by MathLover1(20849) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

in order to determine the slope of a line use slope-intercept form where is a slope and is y-intercept
given that a line has an x-intercept of which means crosses x axis at point (,)
and y-intercept of which means
so, at this point we know that equation will be
now, use x-intercept, point (,) to find

finally, your equation is:
