Question

A line passed through the points (-3,-4) and (6,2). What is the x-intercept of this line?

Answer 1

Answer: 3

Explanation:

Points (-3,-4) and (6,2) give you slope of (-4-2)/(-3-6)=-6/-9=2/3

Y=2/3x+k. Substitute first point, you get -4=2/3(-3)+k. -4=-2+k, so k=-2. When y=0, x value is the x intercept. 0=2/3x-2, 2/3x=2, so x=3.
