Question

Which point on the x-axis lies on the line that passes

Answer 1

Answer:

(2,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

For given line AB:

y-intercept = b = -2

slope = m = y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁

= -3/2-(-4) = -3/6 = -1/2

Equation of line AB:

y = (-1/2)x - 2

Finding equation of line that is parallel to line AB and passes through the point C(2,2):

Substituting the slope from line AB into the equation of the line

y = (-1/2)x + b.

Substituting the given point (-2,2) into the x and y values 2 = (-1/2)-2 + b.

Solving for b (the y-intercept) , we get b = 1

Substitute this value for 'b' in the slope intercept form equation y = (-1/2)x + 1.

For x-intercept of the line, we let y = 0

0 = (-1/2)x + 1

x = -1(-2/1)

x = +2

So, the point on the x-axis that lies on the line that passes

through point C and is parallel to line AB is (2,0).
