Question 1048301
Write an equation of a like that has the same y intercept as 5y-2x=-5
5y - 2x = -5
5y = 2x - 5
divide both sides by 5
y = {{{2/5}}}x - 1
y intercept =-1
:
 and x intercept as 3x+4y=-12 
3x + 4y = -12
4y = - 3x - 12
Divide both sides by 4
y = {{{-3/4}}}x - 3
or
y = -.75x - 3
x intercept occurs when y = 0.
-.75x - 3 = 0
-.75x = 3 
divide both sides by .75
x = 4 is the x intercept
:
Find the equation where the x intercept is 4 and y intercept is -1
Using the form y = mx + b; x=4, b=-1, find m
4m - 1 = 0
4m = 1
m = {{{1/4}}}
:
The equation: y = {{{1/4}}}x - 1
:
{{{ graph( 300, 200, -6, 10, -6, 6, .25x-1) }}}
