a line with a y-intercept of 4 passes through the point (14, -3). it also passes through point (x, -8). what is the x coordinate for that point?: * a) 8 b) 24 c) -24 d) 6 e) -6

Respuesta :

The x-coordinate for the point  (x, -8), if Y-intercept is 4, and the coordinates of the point is (14, -3), is 24, so option B is correct.

What is line?

An object having an endless length and no width, depth, or curvature is called a line. Since lines can exist in two, three, or higher-dimensional environments, they are one-dimensional things.

Given:

Y-intercept = 4,

Coordinates of point =  (14, -3), (x, -8)

Calculate the line equation as shown below,

y = m x + 4

Here, m is the slope,

Put point (14, -3) in the equation,

-3 = m × 14 + 4

m = -7 / 14

m = -1 / 2

Hence, the equation of a line is,

y = -1/2 x + 4

Put point (x, -8),

-8 = -1/2 x + 4,

-12 = -1/2x

x = 24
