Graph y=6x−7 Identify the x-intercept.
1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
x-intercept: 7/6
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-intercept is found by solving for x when y=0.
0 = 6x -7
7 = 6x . . . . . add 7 to both sides of the equation
7/6 = x . . . . divide both sides by 6
The x-intercept is 7/6 = 1 1/6 ≈ 1.167.
__
The y-intercept is the constant in the given equation: -7. The slope of 6 tells you the line rises 6 units for 1 unit to the right. So, the point (1, -1) is another point on the graph. The line through those two points, (0, -7) and (1, -1), will intersect the x-axis at x=7/6.

Given:
Angled formed by ray BA and ray BC is 90 degrees.
To find:
The equation of line that bisects the angle formed by ray BA and ray BC.
Solution:
If a line bisects the angle formed by ray BA and ray BC, then it must be passes through point B and makes angles of 45 degrees with ray BA and ray BC.
It is possible if the line passes though point B(-1,3) and other point (-2,4).
Equation of line is
Add 3 on both sides.
Therefore, the required equation of line is .
