Question

Determine the intercepts.

X-intercept= ______
Y-intercept= ______

Answer 1

X-intercept = (-1, 0).

Y-intercept = (0, 2)

Explanation:

X-intercept states that the graph cross the x-axis.

Substitute y=0 and solve for x.

Y-intercept states that the graph cross the y-axis.

Substitute x=0 and solve for y.

From the given graph:

Find x-intercept and y-intercept:

By definition :

given graph cut the x-axis at -1

Therefore, the X-intercept = (-1, 0).

Similarly for y-intercept:

Given Graph cut the y-axis at 2

therefore, Y-intercept = (0, 2)

Answer 2

The x intercept is where it crosses the x axis: -1 ( -1,0)

The y intercept is where it crosses the y axis : 2 ( 0 ,2)
