Find the -intercept and the -intercept of the graph of each equation. Then graph the equation.
Short Answer
The x-intercept is 3 and y-intercept is 1.5. The graph of the equation is:
Step by step solution
– Definition of intercepts.
The x-intercept is the point where the graph intersect the x-axis. It is the value of x when y=0.
The y-intercept is the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersect the x-axis. It is the value of y when x=0.
– Find the x-intercept.
The given equation is:
Substitute y=0 in the given equation.
The x-intercept is 3. The graph crosses the x-axis at .
– Find the y-intercept.
Substitute x=0 in the given equation.
The y-intercept is 1.5. The graph crosses the y-axis at .
– Draw the graph.
Plot the points and on a coordinate plane and connect them by a straight line as shown below:
Thus, the x-intercept is 3 and y-intercept is 1.5.
