Find the intercepts fory=13x+1

Short Answer

Expert verified

The x-intercept is -3,0

The y-intercept is0,1

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Definition 

The x-intercept is the point where a line crosses the x-axis, and the y-intercept is the point where a line crosses the y-axis.

02

Step 2. Calculating x-intercept 

To find x-intercept, lety=0

localid="1647363551618" ⇒13x-0=-1

⇒x=-3

So, the x-intercept is-3,0

03

Step 3. Calculating y-intercept 

To find y-intercept, let x=0

localid="1647363567755" ⇒130-y=-1

⇒y=1

So, the y-intercept is0,1
