lf a line of slope 0.2 crosses the origin of x-y coordinate system and a point(x, 20) , find x
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Draw the picture and you will see you have two points (0,0) and (x,20)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "slope = (20-0)/(x-0) = 20/x
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "20/x = 0.2
\n" ); document.write( "Invert:
\n" ); document.write( "x/20 = 10/2
\n" ); document.write( "x/20 = 5
\n" ); document.write( "x = 100
\n" ); document.write( "==============
