Write an equation for the following,

X intercept -4, y intercept -2

3 answers

Where a is x-intercept and b is y- intercept

a=-4 b=-2
Plug in your numbers
x/a+y/b=1
(-4, 0), (0, -2).
m = (-2-0)/(0+4) = -1/2.
Y = mx+b.
(-4, 0)
0 = (-1/2)(-4)+b
b = -2.
y = (-1/2)x-2. Slope-intercept form.
y = -x/2-2
2y = -x-4
x + 2y = -4. Standard form.
X intercept -4, y intercept -2
