a line with slope 2 intersects a line with slope 6 at the point (40, 30). what is the distance between the x-intercepts of these two line

Respuesta :

The distance between the x-intercepts of these two line is 10 units.

Given that,

These two lines' x-intercepts are separated by 10 units.

Equation of the line with slope 2 is

y-30/x-40 = 2

For x intercept put y = 0,

then

-30/x-40 =2

x =25

Equation of the line with slope 6 is

y-30/x-40 =6

For x intercept put y = 0,

then

-30/x-40 =6

x =35

Distance between x-intercepts of these two lines is difference of the two intercepts i.e,

D = 35-25 = 10.

Thus, the distance between the x-intercepts of these two line is 10 units.
