The equation of a line is typically written as y = mx + b.
m is the slope of the line, while b is the y-intercept. y is the y-coordinate and x is the x-coordinate.
Since it indicated that the line has a slope of 1/2, we can substitute the m in the equation with 1/2.
y = 1/2x + b
In order to find the intercept of the line, we use the equation of a line to substitute the y-coordinate and x-coordinate of (-3,-3) to discover the y-intercept of b.
-3 = 1/2(-3) + b
One half of -3 is -1.5.
-3 = -1.5 + b
Add -1.5 to both sides of the equation.
-3 = -1.5 + b
+1.5 +1.5
-1.5 = b
Since we found the y-intercept, we can now place it into our equation.
The first 25 prime numbers (all the prime numbers less than 100) are: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97 (sequence A000040 in the OEIS).
we can see where the line touches the x-axis but right at the line making the points have a 0 as the y, (2,0) and (10,0) the others have don´t have 0 in the y place. To make it short there are 2 points touching the x-axis, not above or below but on the line.
