Problem
At what point does the line containing the points and intersect the -axis? Express your answer as an ordered pair.
Solution
The -axis is where the -coordinate is . Using the given points, as the -coordinate decreases by , the -coordinate decreases by . So as the -coordinate decreases by from to , the -coordinate will decrease by from to . The point is .
Final answer
(0,5)
