Question

AB and BC form a right angle at their point of intersection, B. If the coordinates of A and B are (14, -1) and (2, 1), respectively, the y-intercept of AB is ? and the equation of BC is y=? x +?. if the y-coordinate of point c is 13, its x coordinate is ? .

Answer 1

Based on our conversation above, we can then easily find the missing x-coordinate. If the equation for line BC is y = 6*x - 11 and we know that the y-coordinate is 13, then

13 = 6*x - 11
24 = 6*x
4 = x

The x-coordinate is 4.
