Question

Intercepts: independent practice Write the ordered pair describing the coordinates of each intercept. 1. X-intercept: -6 2. Y-intercept: -2.3 3. Y-intercept: 3/4

Answer 1

`(-6, 0)`

`(0, -2.3)`

`(0,(3)/(4))`

Explanation:

Solving (1). x-intercept: -6

At x intercept,
`y= 0`

So, the ordered pair is:
`(-6, 0)`

Solving (2): y-intercept: -2.3

At y intercept,
`x = 0`

So, the ordered pair is:
`(0, -2.3)`

Solving (3): y-intercept: 3/4

At y intercept,
`x = 0`

So, the ordered pair is:
`(0,(3)/(4))`
