Question
A line passes through the points (11, -3) and (5, 6). Where does the line intersect the x-axis?
- 8
- 5
- 7
- 9
Hint:
To find the point of intersection of line with the x axis when the two points of the line are given we first need to find the equation of the line then we know that when the line will intersect the x axis y coordinate will be 0 at that point. So in the equation we will put 0 in the place of y and find the value of x which is the required point.
The correct answer is: 9
Given, A line passes through the points (11, -3) and (5, 6).
So, equation =
We have to find x intercept So, y will be 0 at this point.
2y=-3x+27
0=-3x+27
3x=27
x=9
so x intercept is 9.
