You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write the equation of the line with x-intercept (16, 0) and y-intercept (0, 4).
In order to write the equation of a line, you need a point and a slope.
You don't have a slope, but you can find it using the point slope formula:  , where m=slope, (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are your given points.
(x1,y1)=(16,0) and (x2,y2)=(0,4)
You can use the slope intercept form of the line to make an equation when you have a slope and the y-intercept.  , m=slope and (0,b)=y-intercept
m=-1/4 and (0,b)=(0,4)
Happy Calculating!!!
