Question 103307: Find the point-slope form of the line satisfying the given conditions and use this to write the slope-intercept form of the equation.
x-intercept = -3/2 and y-intercept = 5

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x-intercept = -3/2 and y-intercept = 5
if the x-intercept is -3/2, then one point would be;
(-3/2,0)
y-intercept is 5, the other point would be;
(0,5)
Now is all we need is to find the slope;
m=%285-0%29%2F%280-%28-3%2F2%29%29
m=5%2F%283%2F2%29
m=5%2A%282%2F3%29
m=%2810%2F3%29
Now we have the slope, so we can right the equation;
y=%2810%2F3%29x%2B5
