the two lines y= 2x+8 and y=2x-12 intersect the x axis at P and q. work out the distance of pq?

Question

anonymous · Answer

Use the slope intercept form: y=mx+b
You know that (0,5) is part of the line and can be represented as (x,y)
You know that gradient(aka slope) is -4. In the form, m=slope.
Substitute that all in and you only have one unknown variable:b.
Find b and then put only m and b into the y=mx+b and that's your answer.
