Solution

The x-intercept of a linear equation is the point where the line crosses the x-axis. At this point, the y-coordinate is 0.

So, to find the x-intercept using the equation y = mx + c, you set y to 0 and solve for x.

Here are the steps:

  1. Set y to 0 in the equation y = mx + c. This gives you 0 = mx + c.
  2. Rearrange the equation to solve for x. This gives you -c = mx.
  3. Divide both sides of the equation by m to isolate x. This gives you x = -c/m.

So, the rule for the x-intercept in terms of m and c is x = -c/m.
