Question

On a graph paper, plot the points A(2, 3), B(6,-1) and C(0, 5). If those points are collinear then draw the line which includes them. Write the co-ordinates of the points at which the line intersects the X-axis and the Y-axis.

Answer 1

The given points are A(2, 3), B(6, −1) and C(0, 5). The line which includes these points is shown below:

It can be seen from the graph that the line intersects the X-axis at (5, 0) and the Y-axis at (0, 5).
