In the xy-coordinate plane, a line has a slope of −5/3. If the line crosses the y-axis at (0, b), at what point does it cross the x-axis?

( b, 0 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + b ( m is the slope and b the y- intercept )

Here m = - and b = b , thus

y= - x + b ← equation of line

The line crosses the x- axis when y = 0, substitute y = 0 into equation and solve for x, that is

- x + b = 0 ( multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction )

- 5x + 3b = 0 ( subtract 3b from both sides )

- 5x = - 3b ( divide both sides by - 5 )

x = b , thus

x- intercept = ( b, 0 )

36/60

36/2=18

60/2=30

18/30

18/3=6

30/3=10

6/10

6/2=3

10/2=5

your final answer would be 3/5 of an

hope this !

the answer is b.

step-by-step explanation:

by the trigonometric ratio tangent, tangent equals opposite divided by adjacent.

therefore, tan(50) equals ac/3

multiply each side by 3 to get: ac=3tan(50)

the answer is b.
