if we have an x-intercept of , we have one point at (,)
and
a y-intercept of , , we have one point at (,)
we need a slope:
...use points:
(,) and (,)

use slope point formula:
.....plug in and coordinates of (,)

-> your line

What is the equation of the line with an x-intercept of -2 and a y-intercept of 1?
-------------
If the x-int is (0,A) and the y-int is (0,B), the equation is
Bx + Ay = A*B
================
A = -2
B = 1
1x - 2y = -2*1
x - 2y = -2
