Question 1153791
<br>
(Note that the question should ask for "AN" equation of the line; there are many different forms the equation could have.)<br>
In addition to the methods shown by the other tutor, here is another way to get the answer easily....<br>
It's easier for me because I don't often use the two-intercept form of the equation that the other tutor showed.<br>
Since the y-intercept (0,-2) is given, the equation is of the form<br>
{{{y = ax-2}}}<br>
Plug in the coordinates of the other given point to determine the coefficient a:<br>
{{{0 = a(6)-2}}}
{{{6a = 2}}}
{{{a = 1/3}}}<br>
ANSWER: AN equation of the line is {{{y = (1/3)x-2}}}<br>
