Find the intercept made by a line passing through the following points.
$P (- 2, 0)$ and $Q (0, - 3)$

Open in App

Solution

Finding the intercept made by the line:
Given coordinates are $P (- 2, 0)$ and $Q (0, - 3)$
In coordinate $P (- 2, 0)$
$x = - 2 a n d y = 0$
Therefore, the $x$ -intercept is $- 2$
In coordinate $Q (0, - 3)$
$x = 0 a n d y = - 3$
Therefore, the $y$ -intercept is $- 3$
Hence, intercept made by a line passing through points $P (- 2, 0)$ and $Q (0, - 3)$ are $- 2$ and $- 3$
