Question

Given the points (3, 0) and (-1, -3), which of the statements below is true?

We don't know either the x-intercept or the y-intercept.
We know the x-intercept only.
We know both the x-intercept and the y-intercept.
We know the y-intercept only.

Answer 1

We know the x-intercept only

Answer 2

Answer:
We know the x-intercept only

Step-by-step explanation:
To answer this equation, we need to go through the options individually and use both points to determine if they are true or false.

• Option 1 - False
According to the the first point given, we know the x-intercept is (3, 0).

• Option 2 - True
We only know the x-intercept. It is (3, 0) which is the first point given. We do not know the y-intercept.

• Option 3 - False
We do not know the y-intercept. We only know the x-intercept. In order to know the y-intercept the second point given must include a zero as the x point. The second point give does not include a zero. It is (-1, -3).

• Option 4 - False
We do not know the y-intercept
