The points (-3,-1) and (-2,2) are on a line. Find the intercepts to the nearest tenth.

Directrix (directrix):

Using the two-point calculator of a line, enter the points, and observe that their equation is y = 3x + 8. Because the line is in slope-intercept form, the y-intercept is 8 or (0,8). If y = 0, the x-intercept can be calculated to be -8/3 or (-8/3,0) URL for two-point calculator of line: http://easycalculation.com/analytical/two-point.php

so (8,3)

Directrix (directrix):

The y intercept to the nearest tenth is 8.0 The x intercept to the nearest tenth is -2.7 ---- You cannot combine the intercepts into a single point (8.3). That is wrong. They are two separate points. x-intercept is (-8/3,0). y-intercept is (0,8).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok so -8 over 3, 0 as the x intercept and as the y intercept 0,8

Directrix (directrix):

x-intercept is (-8/3,0) y-intercept is (0,8) Yes.
