--------------------------------------------------
a)line with x-intercept -3 and y-intercept -6
b)line passing through (4,6) and (-2,12)
-------------------------------------------------

(a):
axis intercepts (-3,0) & (0,-6)
m=%28-6%29%2F%283%29=-2
-
highlight%28y=-2x-6%29

(b):
Use the point-slope form equation.
