Question

Find an equation of the line satisfying the given conditions (standard form). 1.) x-intercept=4 and y-intercept=-1 ???

Answer 1

`y=1/4(x-4)`

Explanation:

You have two points
`(4,0)` and `(0,-1)`

With these 2 points, you can find the gradient

`m=(0+1)/(4-0)=1/4`

Then using point gradient formula,

`y-0=1/4(x-4)`

`y=1/4(x-4)`
