Question

What is the x-intercept of the line that passes through the points (2 , 2) and ( 1, -3)?

Answer 1

Please use the slope formula to find the slope (m) of the line connecting these two points.

Next, choose one of these two points. Identify its x- and y-coordinates.

Substitute your slope (m) and those x- and y-coordinates into the point-slope equation,\[y-y _{1}m(x-x _{1})\]
Finally, simplify your result into the form y=mx+b. That " b " will be the vertical intercept.
