Question

What are the x-intercepts of this conic section?

no x-intercepts

(0, −3) and (0, 3)

(−5, 0) and (5, 0)

(−3, 0) and (3, 0)

Answer 1

D. (-3, 0) (3, 0)

Explanation:

An x-intercept is means when the line/shape crosses the x axis, or when y=0

So in this case, we can see that the shape crosses the x axis when

x = -3 and 3

So to put it in coordinate form (x, y)

It is: (-3, 0) and (3, 0)

(Whenever it crosses the x-axis, the y coordinate will always be 0)
