Find the x-intercept and the y-intercept of the graph of each equation. Then graph of the equation.

y=x

Short Answer

Expert verified

The x-intercept of the given equation is 0and the y-intercept is 0.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1- Given information

A linear equation y=x.

02

Step 2- Concept used

The y-coordinate of the point at which a graph crosses the y-axis is called the y-intercept.

So, the y-intercept is the value of y whenx=0.

The x-coordinate of the point at which a graph crosses the x-axis is called the x-intercept.

So, the x-intercept is the value of x when y=0.

Step 3- To find the x-intercept and y-intercept.

From the given information,

y=x⇒x−y=0(1)

Substitute the y=0in the equation (1).

x−0=0⇒x=0

Therefore, the x-intercept is0and the coordinate is

0,0.

Now, substitute the x=0in the given equation (1).

0−y=0⇒−y=0⇒y=0

Therefore, the y-intercept is 0 and coordinate is

0,0.

Step 4- Graph of the of the given equation

The graph of the given equation is:
