Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given are two points on a straight line.
(since x and y are thought to satisfy a linear equation. )
The two points are (x,y) = (6,-2) (-6,6)
Use the two point formula for finding equation
Two point formula is
[tex]\frac{y-y_1}{y_2-y_1}= \frac{x-x_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
Substitue the values to get
[tex]\frac{x-(-6)}{6-(-6)} =\frac{y-6}{-2-6} \\x+6 =\frac{12}{-8}(y-6) \\-2x-12=3y-18\\2x+3y=6[/tex]
is the equation
This can also be written in intercept form as
[tex]\frac{x}{3} +\frac{y}{2} =1[/tex]
Hence x intercept = 3 and y intercept = 2
