Question

Tell whether point (0,-12) is an x - intercept Or a Y intercept

Answer 1

y-intercept

Explanation:

y-intercept is a point where the graph of a function intersects the y-axis and at y-intercept, the x co-ordinate is 0.

(0, -12) is y-intercept.

Answer 2

The given point is (0,-12).

It is required to tell whether the point is an x-intercept or a y-intercept.

Recall that the first coordinate of a coordinate point represents the x-coordinate, while the second coordinate represents the y-coordinate.

The x-intercept is the point where the y-coordinate is zero.

The y-intercept is the point where the x-coordinate is zero.

Notice that the given point has an x-coordinate of zero; this means that the given point is a y-intercept.

The point is a y-intercept.
