Write the equation of the line, given the y- and x-intercepts. b x-intercept (–6, 0), y-intercept (0, –8)

-4/3x -8

Explanation:

Not sure if I understand the question you are asking but if you are asking for the equation of y=mx+b then it would be that.

To find the slope of a line you use the formula y2-y1/x2-x1.

I choses to make y2= -8, y1=0, x2= 0, x1= -6.

Plug in those numbers into the equation.  -8-0/0-(-6)= -4/3

That is your slope, and b is your y-intercept which is -8

so the equation of the line is -4/3x-8.

Hope this helps
