You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write an equation of a like that has the same y intercept as 5y-2x=-5
5y - 2x = -5
5y = 2x - 5
divide both sides by 5
y = x - 1
y intercept =-1
:
and x intercept as 3x+4y=-12
3x + 4y = -12
4y = - 3x - 12
Divide both sides by 4
y = x - 3
or
y = -.75x - 3
x intercept occurs when y = 0.
-.75x - 3 = 0
-.75x = 3
divide both sides by .75
x = 4 is the x intercept
:
Find the equation where the x intercept is 4 and y intercept is -1
Using the form y = mx + b; x=4, b=-1, find m
4m - 1 = 0
4m = 1
m =
:
The equation: y = x - 1
