To calculate the y-intercept of a line
Answer to Problem 5CP
1
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The lines intersect at ( -2, -1). The y-intersect of one of the line is -3.
Formula used:
For line 1:
Substituting values of x, y and y-intercept(c),
Shifting values of right-hand side and left-hand side,
Cross-multiplying the values,
For line 2:
The slope of this line will be negative reciprocal of line 1, because these two lines are perpendicular to each other. Therefore,
Substituting the value of m,
Substituting the values of x, y and slope in the equation of line,
Shifting the right-hand side and the left-hand side values,
