Question
Find the equation of the lines (general form)
(A) x intercept -3 y intercept 4
(B) x intercept 4 y intercept -3
(C) passing through (-3,4) and parallel to the x axis
(D) passing through (2,-3) and parallel to the y axis
a.)
(-3,0) and (0,4)
m = (4 - 0)/(0 - (-3))
m = 4/3
y = (4/3)x + 4
3y = 4x + 4
-4x + 3y - 4 = 0
------------------------------------
b.)
(4,0) and (0,-3)
m = (3/4)
y = (3/4)x - 3
4y = 3x - 3
-3x + 4y + 3 = 0
-----------------------------
Not certain if that is the general form for C and D
c.)
y = 4
y - 4 = 0
d.)
x = -3
x + 3 = 0
