Question 186467: A straight line is drawn through the point (3,4). the line cuts the axes at the points A and B such that the area of the triangle OAB is 24. Find the x-intercepts of all such lines Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Call the x-intercept
Call the y-intercept
Call the slope
and
The general equation is and goes through (3,4)
and is the y-intercept
The x-intercept is answer
and
check:
The general equation is:
does it go through (3,4)?
OK
