Question

A line can be defined in general form by the equation Ax+By = C. Assuming that A and B are non-zero numbers, what is the x-intercept?

Answer 1

The x-intercept is on the x-axis and has coordinates (x, 0).

So, take the equation --> Ax+By = C and substitute 0 for y to get:

Ax + 0*y = C

Solve this equation for x.

That value of x is the x-intercept.
