Find an equation for the linear function which has y-intercept (0,-6) and x-intercept (11,0).

For this case we have an equation of the form:

y = mx + b

Where,

The slope of the line is:

m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

m = (0 - ( - 6)) / (11-0)

m = 6/11

The value of b is given by:

b = - 6

Substituting values we have:

y = (6/11) x - 6

Answer:

An equation for the linear function is:

y = (6/11) x - 6
