find the equation of the line which satisfy the given condition: Intersecting the x-axis at a distance of 3 units to the left of origin with slope –2.
find the equation of the line which satisfy the given condition: Intersecting the x-axis at a distance of 3 units to the left of origin with slope –2.

 Given:

 

Incline, \[\mathbf{m}\text{ }=\text{ }-\text{ }\mathbf{2}\]

We realize that assuming a line L with incline m makes x-capture d, condition of L is

 

\[\mathbf{y}\text{ }=\text{ }\mathbf{m}\left( \mathbf{x}\text{ }-\text{ }\mathbf{d} \right).\]

In the event that the distance is 3 units to one side of beginning, \[\mathbf{d}\text{ }=\text{ }-\text{ }\mathbf{3}\]

In this way, \[\mathbf{y}\text{ }=\text{ }\left( -\text{ }\mathbf{2} \right)\text{ }\left( \mathbf{x}\text{ }\text{ }\left( -\text{ }\mathbf{3} \right) \right)\]

 

\[\mathbf{y}\text{ }=\text{ }\left( -\text{ }\mathbf{2} \right)\text{ }\left( \mathbf{x}\text{ }+\text{ }\mathbf{3} \right)\]

\[\mathbf{y}\text{ }=\text{ }-\text{ }\mathbf{2x}\text{ }\text{ }\mathbf{6}\]

\[\mathbf{2x}\text{ }+\text{ }\mathbf{y}\text{ }+\text{ }\mathbf{6}\text{ }=\text{ }\mathbf{0}\]

 

The condition of the line is \[\mathbf{2x}\text{ }+\text{ }\mathbf{y}\text{ }+\text{ }\mathbf{6}\text{ }=\text{ }\mathbf{0}.\]
