Question

find the x - intercept and the y - intercept of the line below. (a) x - intercept: (b) y - intercept: - 2

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the definition of x - intercept

The x - intercept is the point where the line crosses the x - axis. At this point, \(y = 0\).

Step2: Locate the x - intercept from the graph

Looking at the graph, when \(y = 0\), the value of \(x=-1\).

Answer:

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