Write the equation of the line, given the y and x-intercepts:
y-intercept = 23, x-intercept = 4.75

The answer to your question is:                161x + 17y - 391 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

y-intercept = 23         Get the points      (0, 23)

x- intercept = 4.75                                   (4.75, 0)

                      4.75 = 17/4                         (17/4, 0)

slope

              m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

              m = (0 - 23) / (17/4 - 0)

              m = -23 / 17/4

             m = - 161 / 17

equation

              (y - y1) = m (x - x1)

              ( y - 23) = -161 / 17 (x - 0)

               y - 23 = -161/17 x

              17(y - 23) = -161x

              17y - 391 = -161x

              161x + 17y - 391 = 0
