To find the x-intercept, we can set y=0 in the equation of the line:
0 = (y1 - V2)/(x1 - X2)
Cross multiplying, we get:
0 = y1 - V2
Solving for V2, we have:
V2 = y1
Therefore, the x-intercept is at the point (X2, y1).
To find the y-intercept, we can set x=0 in the equation of the line:
m = (y1 - V2)/(x1 - X2)
When x=0, the denominator (x1 - X2) becomes X1 - X2 since x1 is already assumed to be non-zero.
Therefore, the equation becomes:
m = (y1 - V2)/(X1 - X2)
Cross multiplying, we get:
m*(X1 - X2) = y1 - V2
Solving for V2, we have:
V2 = y1 - m*(X1 - X2)
Therefore, the y-intercept is at the point (X1 - X2, y1 - m*(X1 - X2)).
0 = (y1 - V2)/(x1 - X2)
Cross multiplying, we get:
0 = y1 - V2
Solving for V2, we have:
V2 = y1
Therefore, the x-intercept is at the point (X2, y1).
