Question

I really need help with this. It is for a test! Will give medal!
What is the x-coordinate of the x-intercept of the line that passes through points (-5, 3) and (1, -3)?

Answer 1

idk if i can help you if this is a test..

Answer 2

it is not in a test, it is a question I have to answer before I can do the test, it is a practice question

Answer 3

can you help?

Answer 4

well... do you know how to find the slope of a line from two points?

Answer 5

slope = y2 - y1/x2-x1

Answer 6

3--3/-5-1 --> 6/-6 --> -1 slope = -1

Answer 7

y = -1x +b --> -3 = -1 + b --> b = -2 .. so equation = -1x -2

Answer 8

plug in 0 for y and you will get your answer
