1. Find the equation of the line with 4 and -6 as its x and y intercept respectively.

Sagot :

x/a + y/b = 1

x-intercept = 4 (a)
y-intercept =  -6 (b)

x/4 + y/-6 = 1

-6x + 4y = (4) (-6)

-6x + 4y = -24

-1(-6x) + 4y (-1) = -24 (-1)
6x - 4y = 24

EQUATION OF THE LINE

6x  - 4y = 24,   STANDARD FORM

6x - 4y - 24 = 0,  GENERAL FORM
