Math Problem Statement
Write down the intersections with the x and y-axes respectively for each of the following lines: a) x + 2y =100 b) 4x +5y = -30 c) 10x -5y = 20 d) x = y +15
Solution
To find the intersections with the x-axis and y-axis for each of the given lines, we follow these steps:
- For the x-axis intersection, set and solve for .
- For the y-axis intersection, set and solve for .

Here are 5 follow-up questions:
- How would you find the slope of the line ?
- What does the intersection point represent geometrically?
- How would you find the intersection of two lines, for example and ?
- How does the equation differ from the others in terms of graphing?
- What would be the general form of a line equation?
Tip: The x-intercept is found by setting because any point on the x-axis has a -coordinate of zero.
