Problem

A line with slope intersects a line with slope at point . What is the distance between the -intercepts of these two lines?
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
Solution
Using the point-slope form, the equation of each line is Substitute in to find the -intercepts. The difference between them is .
Final answer
A
