The easiest way is to find the equation of the line first then find the y-coordinate of the point.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=mx%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"6=%286%2F5%29%2A-3%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"6=-18%2F5%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=48%2F5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so the line has equation\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%286%2F5%29x%2B48%2F5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Substituting our given values, we get\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"0=%286%2F5%29x%2B48%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-48%2F5=%286%2F5%29x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=-8\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The line will pass through (-8,0).
