write an equation of the line with x-intercept (-6,0)
I am racking my brains...
I need help on figuring out how to write an equation of the line with x-intercept (-6,0) and y intercept (0,-1)
Please help me understand how to get this question answered and please show me step by step
I think this is how to do it... but am not sure...
find the slope first: m=y2-y1 which is -1-0 which is -1/6
x2-x1 0-(-6)
Since I know the slope is -1/6 I can use y= mx+b
since I know the slope is also m and I know that the y-intercept is y
then the equation should be the following: y=-1/6x-1
does this look like the correct equation?
