Question

1, calculate at what distance from the origin , the graph of the equation x/2+y/3=1intersects the x axis and the y axis​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x/2 + y/3 =1

intersection at x- axis :

at x - axis y= 0

x/2 +0/3 =1

x/2=1

x=2

so coordinates at x-axis =(2,0)

its distance from the origin is = 2 units

intersection at y - axis :

at y- axis x=0

0/2 + y/3 =1

y/3=1

y=3

so coordinates at y-axis = (0,3)

its distance from the origin = 3 units
