Question

8-60. based on the tables below, say as much as you can about the x- and y-intercepts of the corresponding graphs: 1: table with x and y values 2: table with x and y values 3: table with x and y values

Explanation:

An x-intercept occurs where $y=0$, corresponding to an $(x, 0)$ pair in the table. A y-intercept occurs where $x=0$, corresponding to a $(0, y)$ pair in the table.

1. For the first table, locate all rows with $y=0$ for x-intercepts, and the row with $x=0$ for the y-intercept.
2. For the second table, locate all rows with $y=0$ for x-intercepts, and the row with $x=0$ for the y-intercept.
3. For the third table, locate the row with $y=0$ for the x-intercept, and the row with $x=0$ for the y-intercept.

Answer:

1. X-intercepts: $(2, 0)$, $(-4, 0)$, $(3, 0)$; Y-intercept: $(0, 18)$
2. X-intercepts: $(3, 0)$, $(8, 0)$; Y-intercept: $(0, -3)$
3. X-intercept: $(1, 0)$; Y-intercept: $(0, -4)$
