Answer:

y-intercept: (0, -0.7)

x-intercept: (-1.2, 0)

Explanation:

  • To find the x-intercept (x, 0) of a line substitute y by zero in the equation of the line, and from the graph, it is the point of intersection between the line and the x-axis
  • To find the y-intercept (0, y) of a line substitute x by zero in the equation of the line, and from the graph, it is the point of intersection between the line and the y-axis

In the given figure

∵ The line intersects the y-axis at the point (0, -0.7)

∴ The point of intersection between the line and the y-axis is (0, -0.7)

→ By using the 2nd note above

The y-intercept is (0, -0.7)

∵ The line intersects the x-axis at the point (-1.2, 0)

∴ The point of intersection between the line and the x-axis is (-1.2, 0)

→ By using the 1st note above

The x-intercept is (-1.2, 0)
