Question 1126490: Given the set of information, find a linear equation satisfying the conditions, if possible. (If not possible, enter IMPOSSIBLE.)
x-intercept at (x, y) = (−9, 0) and y-intercept at (x, y) = (0, 8)
*This is my work thus far, but somewhere along the way I am going wrong since the answer resulting is not correct*
(-9,0) (0,8)
m= y^2-y^1/ x^2-x^1
8-0/0--9= -8/9
y-y^1= m(x-x^1)
y-8= -8/9(x-0)
y-8=-8/9x
y=-8/9x +8

You can put this solution on YOUR website!

x-intercept at (,) = (, )
and
y-intercept at (,) = (,)
find:

you can find a slope using given points

so far we have

.......since given y-intercept at (,), we know that
-> your equation
