Algebra.Com's Answer #563183 by KMST(5328) You can put this solution on YOUR website! On what axis? The x-axis? The y-axis? Never mind; we can find both. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Using the data given, a point-slope form of the equation of the line can be written as \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "A little algebra can be used to transform the equation above into the one and only slope-intercept form: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "However, that is not necessary. The x- and y-intercepts can be found by making y=0 and x=0 respectively. \n" ); document.write( "For that line, \n" ); document.write( "the point on the x-axis, with \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "the point on the y-axis, with \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "So the other end-point of the segment, on a coordinate axis is either \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
