Line X Intercept from Y Intercept and Positive Slope Calculator
Line X Intercept from Y Intercept and Positive Slope. Example: Y intercept: 6 units, Slope: 3 number gives -2 units. Positive finite slope only; supplied y intercept in coordinate units, axes share unit. Returns x intercept; no two-output or vertical-line claim. Only this original stated job is proposed, not full historical source coverage. Input domains and output unit must be visible.
Positive finite slope only; supplied y intercept in coordinate units, axes share unit. Returns x intercept; no two-output or vertical-line claim. Only this original stated job is proposed, not full historical source coverage. Input domains and output unit must be visible. Derivation: Set y0 in y=mx+b and solve x.
Accepted inputs: Y intercept: -10,000 to 10,000 units; Slope: 0.001 to 10,000 number.
How the calculation works
x intercept=-b/m
Worked example
With y intercept 6 units, slope 3 number, line x intercept from y intercept and positive slope is -2 units.
Assumptions and limits
Positive finite slope only; supplied y intercept in coordinate units, axes share unit. Returns x intercept; no two-output or vertical-line claim. Only this original stated job is proposed, not full historical source coverage. Input domains and output unit must be visible. Derivation: Set y0 in y=mx+b and solve x.
