Question

A line has a slope of –3 and a y-intercept of 3. mc008-1.jpg What is the x-intercept of the line?

–9

–1

1

9

Answer 1

C should be your answer

Explanation:

Answer 2

x-intercept: 1

C is correct

Explanation:

A line has a slope of –3 and a y-intercept of 3

Slope (m) = -3

y-intercept: (0,3)

Using slope and y-intercept we will make the equation of line.

`y-y_1=m(x-x_1)`

Equation of line:

`y-3=-3(x-0)`

`y=-3x+3`

Now we will find x-intercept

For x-intercept put y=0

`0=-3x+3`

`x=1`

x-intercept: (1,0)

Hence, The x-intercept of the equation is 1
