Write the equation of the line with x-intercept (16, 0) and y-intercept (0, 4).
\n" ); document.write( "In order to write the equation of a line, you need a point and a slope.
\n" ); document.write( "You don't have a slope, but you can find it using the point slope formula: \"highlight%28m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29%29\", where m=slope, (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are your given points.
\n" ); document.write( "(x1,y1)=(16,0) and (x2,y2)=(0,4)
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%284-0%29%2F%280-16%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=4%2F-16\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=-1%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "You can use the slope intercept form of the line to make an equation when you have a slope and the y-intercept. \"highlight%28y=mx%2Bb%29\", m=slope and (0,b)=y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( "m=-1/4 and (0,b)=(0,4)
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%28-1%2F4%29x%2B4\"
