Use the double intercept approach to find the graph of –1 = –y + x. A. B. C. D.
1 answer:
Answer:
Intercepts at (-1, 0) and (0, 1).
Step-by-step explanation:
The double intercept form for the equation of a line is
ax + by = 1
-1 = -y + x
<em> y = 0 </em>
<em> </em>x = -1 Multiply each side by -1
-x = 1
The <em>x-intercept</em> is at (-1, 0).
=====
<em> x = 0 </em>
-1 = -y Multiply each side by -1
y = 1
The <em>y-intercept</em> is at (0, 1).
=====
The graph (see below) is a straight line passing through the points (-1, 0) and (0, 1).

Another way to solve this is to use the Midpoint Formula. The midpoint of a segment joining points 
and 
is
So the midpoint of your segment is
Perhaps it helps to see that the x-coordinate of the midpoint is just the average of the x-coordinates of the points. Ditto for the y-coordinate of the midpoint; just average the y's.
