Question 1098663: A line has vertical intercept 6 and slope -2. What is its horizontal intercept?
Write the equation of the line with the given information.
text(Through (6,-3)); text( parallel to ) 4 x + 3 y = 8.
Find the slope and y-intercept of a line with the following characteristics: Parallel to the line -3x + 4y = 8 and passing through (8, -2).
Find the equation for the line with the following criteria
(you should be able to do this without your calculator; if you use decimals, round to at least three places):
Contains the point (0 , 1)
Contains the point (-2 , -2)
