Question

On a coordinate plane, a curved line crosses the x-axis at (negative 1, 0) and the y-axis at (0, 2). Determine the intercepts. x-intercept = y-intercept =

Answer 1

x-intercept = -1 and y-intercept = 2.

Explanation:

Since, the x-coordinate of the point at which the graph intercept the x-axis is called x-intercept,

while, y-coordinate of the point at which the graph intercept the y-axis is called y-intercept,

Here, the curved line crosses the x-axis at (-1, 0) and the y-axis at (0, 2).

Hence, x-intercept = -1 and y-intercept = 2.

Answer 2

The x-intercept is -1

The y-intercept is 2

Explanation:

we know that

The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

The x-intercept is the value of x when the value of y is equal to zero

therefore

In this problem we have

(-1,0)

For x=-1, y=0 -----> Is a x-intercept

(0,2)

For x=0, y=2 ----> Is a y-intercept
