A line has a slope of Negative one-half and a y-intercept of –2. A coordinate plane. What is the x-intercept of the line?

Respuesta :

In a coordinate plane, the x-intercept of the line x + 2y + 4 = 0 will be (–4, 0).

What is the equation of line?

The equation of line is given as

y = mx + c

Where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

A line has a slope of Negative one-half and a y-intercept of –2.

m = – 1/2

c = – 2

The equation of line will be

                y = –(1/2)x – 2

1/2x + y + 2 = 0

  x + 2y + 4 = 0

For the x-intercept, the value of y will be zero.

x + 2y + 4 = 0

Put x = 0, then the value of y will be

x + 2(0) + 4 = 0

         x + 4 = 0

               x = –4

Then the x-intercept of the line x + 2y + 4 = 0 will be (–4, 0).

The equation of the line is drawn in the graph.

It can be clearly observed the line intersect at (-4, 0) and (0, -2).
