Question 890377: Write a linear equation in point slope form that has an x-intercept of -3 and passes through the point of intersection of 3x+5y=2 and 2x-8y=24? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! intersection x=4 y=-2
x intercept -3 means x=-3, y=0
we need a line through -3,0 and 4,-2
m=-2/7
-2=-2/7*4+b
-2+8/7=b
-14/7+8/7=b
-6/7=b
y=-2x/7-6/7
