To calculate: The x -intercept and the y -intercept of the equation
Answer to Problem 46STP
The x-intercept is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The equation
Formula used:
The ordinate of a point that cuts y-axis on the graph is called y-intercept and the abscissa of a point that cuts x-axis is called x-intercept.
Calculation:
Consider the provided equation
Recall that the ordinate of a point that cuts y-axis on the graph is called y-intercept and the abscissa of a point that cuts x-axis is called x-intercept.
Substitute
The value of y-intercept is
Substitute
The value of x-intercept is
So, the points are
Now, use the points to graph the equation
Thus, the x-intercept is
