Question

sketch on the same axes the graphs of y= |x| and y= |x| - 2. Label the x- and y-intercepts. In what respects are the two graphs similar? In what respects do they differ?​

Answer 1

Another method to graph a line in the xy-axis or xy-plane is to use its intercepts. What are intercepts? These are points of the line that are found on the xx and yy axes. There are two kinds of intercepts.

The first one is called the x-intercept because it is the point of the line located on the horizontal axis (x-axis).

The second is the y-intercept which is the point of the line located on the vertical axis (y-axis).
