Question 701318: write linear equation from ordered pairs.
write a linear equation in thr form "y=__________" using the folling info
x-intercept of the equation: 6
y-intercept of the equation: -6
please give me info on how you found your answer...
Answer by neatmath(302)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Because you are given the two intercepts, you have two points.
And any two points will uniquely define a straight line!
(6,0) is the x-intercept
(0,-6) is the y-intercept
Now let's find the slope (rise over run):
Now we have our slope and our y-intercept, given as (0,-6) which is all we need:
 where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept
I hope this helps! Keep practicing! :)
