A line passes through the points ( p , a ) and ( p , − a ) where p and a are real numbers. If p = 0 , what is the y-intercept? Explain your reasoning.

Respuesta :

The y-intercept of the point where the value of x is zero, hence the y-intercept are -a and a

Intercept of a line

Given the coordinate points on a line as  (p , a) and ( p , − a )

Determine the slope

Slope = -a-a/p-p

Slope = infinity

If the value p is zero, hence the coordinate points will become (0, a) and (0, -a)

Since the y-intercept of the point where the value of x is zero, hence the y-intercept are -a and a
