Question

What are the x-intercepts of this conic section?

(−3, 0) and (3, 0)

no x-intercepts

(0, −3) and (0, 3)

(−3, 3) and (3, −3)

Answer 1

(x, y) = (-3, 0) and (3, 0)

Explanation:

The x-intercepts of any relation are the points where the graph crosses the x-axis. The y-coordinate there is always 0.

This graph crosses the x-axis at x = ±3. The x-inercepts are ...

(x, y) = (-3, 0) and (3, 0)
