Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

y= -4x-24.

Step-by-step explanation:

common form is (note, x₁=-6, y₁=0, x₂=0 and y₂=-24):

$\frac{x-x_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{y-y_1}{y_2-y_1};$

after the substitution:

$\frac{x+6}{0+6} =\frac{y-0}{-24-0}; \ =>\frac{x+6}{1} =\frac{y}{-4}; \ =>- \frac{y}{4}=x+6.$
