At X-axis coordinates of y=0,
Putting y=0,we get x=-c/a
Hence ,it cut x-axis at(-c/a,0)

Ghanshyam17: u r wrong
Ghanshyam17: this sum is there in R D Sharma book and see answer will be (x,0)
Kkashyap: In eq. When ax+by+c=0,when u will put y=0, u will get value of x=-c/a,
Kkashyap: Take a eg. Line x+y-10=0, will cut x-axis at (10,0) where x=-c/a=-(10)/1=10
Kkashyap: I hope u undrstnd.
Ghanshyam17: seee
Ghanshyam17: see in book
Ghanshyam17: when there y is 0 then only it will cut x-axis
Ghanshyam17: that means x,0
Ghanshyam17: y=0

The graph of linear equation ax+by+c=0,a≠0,b≠0 cut x-axis at point ( (-c/a),0) .

  • At x-axis , the y coordinate become zero (0) .
  • According to the question ,

       given equation of line is ax+by+c=0

       at x-axis , y coordinate = 0

       putting the value of y into the equation of line,

       ax + b(0) + c =0

        x = (-c / a)
