We can find the x and y-intercept by substituting zero for x and y respectively.Part A

iven the eequation below;


y=x+7

When x=0


\begin{gathered} y=0+7 \\ y=7 \end{gathered}

when y=0


\begin{gathered} 0=x+7 \\ x=-7 \end{gathered}

Answer 1


\begin{gathered} x-\text{intercept}=(-7,0) \\ y-\text{intercept}=(0,7) \end{gathered}

Part B


y=x^2-3

When x=0


\begin{gathered} y=0^2-3 \\ y=-3 \end{gathered}

When y=0


\begin{gathered} 0=x^2-3 \\ x^2=3 \\ x=\pm\sqrt[]{3} \\ x=-\sqrt[]{3}\text{ or x=}\sqrt[]{3} \end{gathered}

Answer 2:


\begin{gathered} x-\text{intercept}=(-\sqrt[]{3},0) \\ x-\text{intercept}=(\sqrt[]{3},0) \\ y-\text{intercept}=(0,-3) \end{gathered}
