The graph of a linear function intersects with the x axis at a point with an abscissa of 4 and with the y axis at a point with an ordinate of 11. Write the formula of the function.
-------------
You have 2 points, (4,0) and (0,11)
You find the slope m, then use
y = mx + b where b is the y-intercept.
=================
Or use Ax + By = A*B = 44 where A = y-int and B = x-int.
11x + 4y = 44
