Answer:

(a) (-1/4,0)

(b) k = (10-c)/2

Explanation:

(a) A point passing through the y-axis is the same as finding the y-intercept.

[Move terms to right-hand side; y = mx + b form]

y = 4x + 1

[Find x, when y = 0]

0 = 4x + 1

-1 = 4x

-1/4 = x

At x = -1/4, y = 0 therefore the point: (-1/4,0) crosses the y-axis.

(b) To find the value of k in (k,10), we need to find x. Given y= 10 x=k c=constant

[Find x by plugging in known values]

Using y = 2x + c,

10 = 2k + c

10 - c = 2k

(10-c)/2 = k
