Answer:

x-intercept: (1,0)

y-intercept: (0,1)

Explanation:

Given: Find the x and y intercepts of 2x + 2y = 2

X-intercept

To solve for a x - intercept we have to substitue 0 in for y and solve for
x

Lets do it:

2x + 2(0) = 2

2x + 0 = 2

2x = 2

x = 1

Therefore, this means that when y = 0, x = 1 or (1,0)

Y-intercept

To solve for a y - intercept we have to substitue 0 in for x and solve for
y

Lets do it:

2(0) + 2y = 2

0 + 2y = 2

2y = 2

y = 1

Therefore, this means that when x = 0, y = 1 or (0,1)
