What's the maximum number of times a line can cross the x axis ?
If it is a straight line, I would think only once. Unless it curves, etc. (hopefully that helps)
Answer:
The maximum number of times a line can cross the x-axis is one
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The equation of a line in standard form is equal to
\(Ax+By=C\)
Remember that
The x-intercept is the value for x when the value for y is equal to zero
so
For \(y=0\)
substitute in the equation and solve for x
\(Ax+B(0)=C\)
\(Ax=C\)
\(x=C/A\) ----> value of the x-intercept (one solution)
therefore
The maximum number of times a line can cross the x-axis is one
