Question 1043810: Find the equation of the line which meets the x-axis at x=4 and the y-axis at y=2. Enter your solution in the form y=mx+b. Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! (4,0) and (0,2) are points. By definition, b=2, for that is where x=0
Slope is (2-0)/0-4)=-1/2
The line is y=-(1/2)x+2
