Answer:
( b, 0 )
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + b ( m is the slope and b the y- intercept )
Here m = - and b = b , thus
y= - x + b ← equation of line
The line crosses the x- axis when y = 0, substitute y = 0 into equation and solve for x, that is
- x + b = 0 ( multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction )
- 5x + 3b = 0 ( subtract 3b from both sides )
- 5x = - 3b ( divide both sides by - 5 )
x = b , thus
x- intercept = ( b, 0 )
