Because a line always goes past the y-intercept and x-intercept. It's not always both, it can sometimes just be the x-intercept or the y-intercept.
When a line intersects these points, for example if a line was to intersect the x-axis then y would be equal to 0, and the opposite for the y-axis. If a line was to intersect the y-axis x would be equal to 0.
Therefore by using that knowledge, and the equation of the line [ y=mx+c or y-y1=m(x-x1) ], we can find the equation of our line. Of course you would need the gradient of that line (the value "m").
Answer:
y=5
Step-by-step explanation:
The cities are 12.2 miles apart
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The scale of the map is,
5cm = 10 miles
The distance between the 2 cities in map is 6.2 cm
The actual distance between the 2 cities = (6.2 x 10) / 5
= 62/5
= 12.4
The 2 cities are 12.4 miles apart.
9=m-4
9+4=m
13=m
9=13-4
9=9
I hope this answer helped you!!! Thank you!!!
