To Find: The x- and y-intercepts of the line shown in the graph from yhe given options.
A x-intercept is -4; y-intercept is -6.
B x-intercept is -4; y-intercept is 6.
C x-intercept is 6; y-intercept is -4.
D x-intercept is 6; y-intercept is 6.
Answer to Problem 65PFA
The required answer is option B i.e. x-intercept is -4; y-intercept is 6.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Calculation:
To find the x- intercept, look for the point where the line crosses the x-axis.
In the above graph the line crosses at
Therefore the x- intercept is -4, because it is the x-coordinate of the point where the line crosses the x-axis.
To find the y- intercept, look for the point where the line crosses the y-axis.
In the above graph the line crosses at
Therefore the y- intercept is 6, because it is the y-coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y-axis.
Therefore, option B is correct i.e. x-intercept is -4; y-intercept is 6.
