Question

What are the intercepts of this line?

X-int:1, y-int:-0.5
X-int:-1, y-int:-0.5
X-int:-1, y-int:0.5
X-int:1, y-int:0.5

Answer 1

x-intercept is -1; y-intercept is 0.5.

Explanation:

The x-intercept is relatively easy to read off. It's the x-value where the graph crosses the x-axis, and here is (-1,0).

The y-intercept is best estimated as (0,+0.5).

The correct answer is the 3rd one on the list.

Answer 2

X-int:-1, y-int:0.5.

Explanation:

The x-intercept is that point where the line crosses the x-axis or you can see it with the point where the y-value is 0. As you can see in the picture, the line crosses the x-axis in the point (-1,0), then the x-intercept of the line is in x=-1.

Now, the y-intercept is that point where the line crosses the y-axis or you can see it with the point where the x-value is 0. As you can see in the picture, the line crosses the y-axis in the point (0,0.5), then the y-intercept of the line is in y= 0.5.

Then, the answer is the third option.
