Question

11. Write the equation of the line with x-intercept of -4 and y-intercept of 2. Hint:With those intercepts, (-4,0) and (0,2) are points on the line.

Answer 1

The slope of the line is $\frac{2-0}{0-(-4)}=\frac{1}{2}$.

Substituting into point-slope form, the equation is $\boxed{y=\frac{1}{2}x+2}$.
