Find the x intercept and y intercept of it

Solution

To find the xx-intercept and yy-intercept of an equation, you'll follow these steps:

1. xx-Intercept:

  • The xx-intercept is the point where the graph of the equation crosses the xx-axis. At this point, the value of yy is 0.
  • To find the xx-intercept, set y=0y = 0 in the equation and solve for xx.

2. yy-Intercept:

  • The yy-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the yy-axis. At this point, the value of xx is 0.
  • To find the yy-intercept, set x=0x = 0 in the equation and solve for yy.

If you provide the equation, I can calculate the xx-intercept and yy-intercept for you. Please share the equation you are working with!
