Question

find the y - intercept and the x - intercept of the line below. click on
one\ if applicable. (a) y - intercept: (b) x - intercept: try again

Explanation:

Step1: Recall definition of y - intercept

The y - intercept is the y - value when x = 0. Looking at the graph, when x = 0, the line intersects the y - axis at y=-1.

Step2: Recall definition of x - intercept

The x - intercept is the x - value when y = 0. Looking at the graph, when y = 0, the line intersects the x - axis at x = 2.

Answer:

(a) y - intercept: -1
(b) x - intercept: 2
