  1. Given, point (-2, 3) and the x-intercept of the line passing through that point is 4 units.

    So, the co-ordinates of the point where the line meets the x-axis is (4, 0)

    Now, slope of the line passing through the points (-2, 3) and (4, 0)

    m = y2 – y1/ x2 – x1

    m = (0 – 3)/(4 + 2) = -3/6 = -1/2

    Hence, the equation of the line will be

    y – y1 = m (x – x1)

    y – 0 = -½ (x – 4)

    2y = -x + 4

    ⇒ x + 2y = 4
