Question

Draw the line passing through $(4,2)$ and $(2,4)$ and find the coordinate of the point at which the line meets the $x-$axis.

• A. (6,0)
• B. (5,0)
• C. (7,0)
• D. (5.5,0)

Answer 1

The correct option is A (6,0)

By plotting $B(2,4)$ and $A(4,2)$ and draw a line through these points.

By extending this line to the $x-$axis, the line will look like as shown below.

From this, we can see that the line meets the $x-$axis at $C(6,0)$
