I'm confused- how do I form the equation with 2 pts? Write the equation of the line given the y-intercept and x-intercept.

y-intercept is (0, –6), x-intercept is (–2, 0)

the equation of the line is   y = -3x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that since (0, -6) is the y-intercept, we can write the slope-intercept equation of the line as y = mx - 6.  The other given point is (-2, 0) (which happens to be the x-intercept also).  Starting with y = mx - 6, replace y with 0 and x with -2:  

0 = m(-2) - 6.  We now solve this for the slope, m:  0 = -2m - 6 becomes

2m = -6, or m = -3.

With m = -3 and b = -6, the equation of the line is   y = -3x - 6

answer: given that the roller coaster can accommodate 1600 riders per hour, thus the roller coaster can accomodate 1600 / 60 = 26.67 riders per minute.

given that there are 345 people in the line, the number of minutes it will take for the 345 persons to get into the roller coaster is given by 345 / 26.67 = 12.94 minutes.

therefore, it will take you 12.94 minutes to get to the front of the line.
