Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Recall intercept definitions

The \(y\)-intercept is the \(y\) - value when \(x = 0\), and the \(x\)-intercept is the \(x\) - value when \(y=0\).

Step2: Analyze the vertical line

The given line is a vertical line \(x=-1\). It never intersects the \(y\) - axis (since \(x
eq0\) for all points on the line), so there is no \(y\)-intercept. When \(y = 0\), \(x=-1\), so the \(x\)-intercept is \(-1\).

Answer:

(a) None
(b) -1
