The line that passes through the points (2,-5) and (-7,4) meets the x-axis at the point P. Work out the coordinates of the point P.
Added by Darlene B.
Step 1
Find the slope of the line passing through the points (2, -5) and (-7, 4). The slope (m) can be found using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) Plugging in the coordinates of the points, we get: m = (4 - (-5)) / (-7 - 2) Show more…
