Math Problem Statement
which are the x and y intercepts for teh given linear equation
Solution
To find the x-intercept and y-intercept of a linear equation, you need the equation in the form or any standard linear form like .
Here’s how you find them:
-
X-Intercept: The point where the line crosses the x-axis ().
- Set in the equation and solve for .
-
Y-Intercept: The point where the line crosses the y-axis ().
- Set in the equation and solve for .
If you provide the specific equation, I can calculate the intercepts for you! Please share it either as text or upload a photo of the equation.
