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)
