Question

Write an equation of a line
that passes through the
points
(-6,0) and (0,-24).

Answer 1

Answer:

y= -4x-24

Step-by-step explanation:

change in y/change in x = 0- -24/-6-0 = 24/-6 = -4

gradient is -4

then you put a set of coradinates into the formular y-y=m(x-x)

y - 0= -4 (x+6)

y-0=-4x-24

y=-4x-24

Answer 2

Answer:

  4x +y = -24

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points are the x- and y-intercepts. It is convenient to write the equation in intercept form:

  x/a +y/b = 1 . . . . . . x-intercept 'a', y-intercept 'b'

  x/-6 +y/-24 = 1 . . . . . equation in intercept form

  4x +y = -24 . . . . . . . equation in standard form (multiply by -24)
