Question

Find the intercepts of the line that
contains the points A(4, 2) and B(−2, 5).

Answer 1

Y-intercept: (0,4)

X-intercept: (8,0)

Explanation:

equation of the line:

(4,2) (-2,5)

5-2/-2-4

3/-6

-1/2

m = -1/2

point slope form:

y-2=-1/2(x-4)

simplify:

y-2=-1/2x+2

y=-1/2x+4

Y-intercept: (0,4)

X-intercept: (8,0)
