Question 58865: Find the equation of a line that goes through the y-intercept of 2x-3y=24 and the x-intercept of 5x+6y=30. Leave your answer in slope-intercept form. Answer by venugopalramana(3286) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the equation of a line that goes through the y-intercept of 2x-3y=24
Y INTERCEPT IS AT X=0....-3Y=24...Y=-8...SO THE POINT IS (0,-8)....A SAY
and the x-intercept of 5x+6y=30.
X INTERCEPT IS AT Y=0....5X=30....X=6.....SO THE POINT IS (6,0)......B SAY
EQN.OF LINE THROUGH AB IS
Y-0=[(0+8)/(6-0)](X-6)=4X/3 - 8
Y=4X/3 - 8
