Find the equation of the line using the point-slope formula.
\n" ); document.write( " Write the final equation using the slope-intercept form.
\n" ); document.write( "the x-intercept is 1,
\n" ); document.write( " and
\n" ); document.write( "(x, y) = (−2, 15) is a point on the line
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"x intercept is 1\" means y = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Assign the values as follows
\n" ); document.write( "x1=1; y1=0
\n" ); document.write( "x2=-2; y2=15
\n" ); document.write( "Find the slope using: m = \"%28%28y2-y1%29%29%2F%28%28x2-x1%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28%2815-0%29%29%2F%28%28-2-1%29%29\" \"15%2F-3\" = -5 is the slope (m)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Using the point slope form y - y1 = m(x - x1)
\n" ); document.write( "y - 0 = -5(x - 1)
\n" ); document.write( "y = -5x + 5, is the slope intercept form
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "you can confirm this for yourself. Substitute 1, see if y = 0;
\n" ); document.write( "do the same for x=-2; see if y = 15\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
