Comment on Distance Between Intercepts
hello,
Is there any other faster way to do the above problem ?
I can't think of a faster way
I can't think of a faster way.
I didn't solve the line
That's a perfectly valid
That's a perfectly valid solution. Nice work!
One of the nice properties of GRE math questions is that they can often be solved using a variety of approaches.
Hi Brent, to clarify for y
Have the question asked x-intercept then it will be (6, -10) right?
The y-intercept of line k is
The y-intercept of line k is the place where the line crosses the y-axis.
All points on the y-axis will have x coordinate 0.
Conversely, the x-intercept of line k is the place where the line crosses the y-axis.
All points on the x-axis will have y coordinate 0.
So, (6, -10) cannot be the coordinates of an x-intercept.
