find the standard form of the equation of the line that satisfies the given condition.

x-intercept: -4
y-intercept: 2

2 answers

y=-4x+2
Jessica's answer is not correct.

x intercept point = -4,0
y intercept point = 0,2

y = mx + b is the standard line equation
where:
m = the slope of the line
b = the y intercept

The problems gives the y intercept as 2.

slope = (delta y)/(delta x)
= (0 - 2)/(-4 - 0)
= -2/(-4)
=?
