Q:

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

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:The answer to your question is:                161x + 17y - 391 = 0Step-by-step explanation:Datay-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
