The x-intercept of the line is -6
The y-intercept of the line is 8
The slope of the line is
Step-by-step explanation:
You can find x-intercept by substitute y in the equation by zero
You can find y-intercept by substitute x in the equation by zero
If the equation of the line is ax + by = c, then
1. x-intercept ⇒ put y = 0
ax + b(0) = c
ax = c ⇒ divide both sides by a
x =
x-intercept =
2. y-intercept ⇒ put 0 = 0
a(0) + by = c
by = c ⇒ divide both sides by b
y =
y-intercept =
3. Slope ⇒ put the equation in the form y = m x + c, m is the slope
ax + by = c ⇒ subtract ax from both sides
by = c - ax ⇒ divide both sides by b
y = -
x
m =
Slope =
∵ 4x - 3y = -24
∵ ax + by = c
∴ a = 4 , b = -3 and c = -24
∵ x-intercept =
∴ x-intercept =
∴ x-intercept = -6
∵ y-intercept =
∴ y-intercept =
∴ y-intercept = 8
∵ m =
∴ m =
∴ m =
The x-intercept of the line is -6
The y-intercept of the line is 8
The slope of the line is
