Example Questions

Example Question #1531 : Intermediate Geometry

Find the x-intercept of the line -5x-6y=23 .

Possible Answers:

$(-\frac{12}{5},0)$

$(-\frac{23}{5},0)$

$(-\frac{17}{5},0)$

$(-\frac{115}{36},0)$

Correct answer:

$(-\frac{23}{5},0)$

Explanation:

Start by putting the equation into y=mx+b form, where is the slope, and is the y-intercept.

-5x-6y=23

6y+23=-5x

6y=-5x-23

$y=-\frac{5}{6}x-\frac{23}{6}$

By definition, the x-intercept is where the line crosses the x-axis. As such, the y-coordinate of this point must be .

Plug in for in the equation for this line.

$0=-\frac{5}{6}x-\frac{23}{6}$

Now, solve for .

$\frac{5}{6}x=-\frac{23}{6}$

$x=-\frac{23}{5}$

The x-intercept is found at $(-\frac{23}{5}, 0)$ .

Example Question #32 : X And Y Intercept

Find the x-intercept for the line 4x-9y=15 .

Possible Answers:

$(\frac{17}{4},0)$

(4, 0)

(3, 0)

$(\frac{15}{4}, 0)$

Correct answer:

$(\frac{15}{4}, 0)$

Explanation:

Start by putting the equation into y=mx+b form, where is the slope, and is the y-intercept.

4x-9y=15

15+9y=4x

9y=4x-15

$y=\frac{4}{9}x-\frac{5}{3}$

By definition, the x-intercept is where the line crosses the x-axis. As such, the y-coordinate of this point must be .

Plug in for in the equation for this line.

$0=\frac{4}{9}x-\frac{5}{3}$

Now, solve for .

$\frac{4}{9}x=\frac{5}{3}$

$x=\frac{15}{4}$

The x-intercept is found at $(\frac{15}{4}, 0)$ .

Plug in for the y-value.

-9x+21y=27

-9x+21(0)=27

-9x=27

x=-3

The x-intercept is located at (-3, 0) .

Plug in for the y-value.

y=12x-24

12x-24=0

12x=24

x=2

The x-intercept is located at (2, 0) .

Plug in for the y-value.

-x+10y=22

-x+10(0)=22

-x=22

x=-22

The x-intercept is located at (-22, 0) .
