Question

The line y 0.2x - 8 passes through the points (6, a) and (b,-6). Find the values of
A and 'b'

Answer 1

Answer:

Approach:

Find the slope using the given points.

Put the value of the slope in the expression of the line i.e. y = mx + c.

Now find the value of c using the values of any of the given points in the equation y = mx + c.

To find the x-intercept, put y = 0 in y = mx + c.

To find the y-intercept, put x = 0 in y = mx + c.
