Question 1000053
find the x- and y- intercepts of the line that passes through the given points. (-5,-5),(4,-2). Your help is greatly appreciated, thank you!
<pre>Determine the equation of the line first, by using the point-slope formula: {{{y - y[1] = ((y[2] - y[1])/(x[2] - x[1]))(x - x[1])}}}
When the equation is determined, substitute 0 for y to find the x-intercept. Then substitute 0 for x to find the y-intercept
[Hint]: Slope, or m = {{{1/3}}}
