Question
The co-ordinates of two points A and B are (-3, 4) and (2, -1) Find: the co-ordinates of the point where the line AB intersects the y-axis.
Solution
Let the line AB intersects the y-axis at point (0, y).
Putting x = 0 in the equation of the line, we get,
0 + y = 1
y = 1
Thus, the co-ordinates of the point where the line AB intersects the y-axis are (0, 1).
