Question
the y-intercept of the two following points is (2,0) (true or false)
(0,5) and (2,0)
true
false
Step1: Recall y-intercept definition
The y - intercept of a line (or the graph passing through the points) is the point where the line crosses the y - axis. At the y - axis, the x - coordinate is 0. So, the y - intercept has the form \((0, y)\) for some \(y\).
Step2: Analyze the given points
We are given two points \((0,5)\) and \((2,0)\). The point \((0,5)\) has an \(x\) - coordinate of 0, which means it is the point where the line (passing through these two points) crosses the y - axis. The point \((2,0)\) has an \(x\) - coordinate of 2, so it is the x - intercept (where the line crosses the x - axis). So, the statement that the y - intercept of the two points is \((2,0)\) is false.
