Question

What is the X and Y intercept?

X: 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40

Y: 7, 10, 20, 20, 24, 32, 35, 45, 57

​

Answer 1

• y-intercept: (0, 7)
• x-intercept: cannot be determined

Explanation:

You want to know the x- and y-intercepts of a function described by a data table.

Intercepts

The x-intercept is the x-value where y = 0. There is no y=0 entry in the table, and the entries there are not regular enough to support any speculation as to how the function might be extrapolated.

There is no x-intercept.

The y-intercept is shown in the table where x=0.

The y-intercept is (0, 7).
