Math Problem Statement

State the value of the x-intercept and y-intercept from the provided graphs.

Solution

To help you with this exercise, I’ll analyze the graph to determine the xx-intercepts and yy-intercepts for the provided questions. Let’s break it down step-by-step:


Part i: State the value of the xx-intercept

The xx-intercept occurs where the line crosses the xx-axis (y=0y = 0).

a) The line crosses the xx-axis at (2,0)(-2, 0).

Answer: xx-intercept = 2-2.

b) The line crosses the xx-axis at (2,0)(2, 0).

Answer: xx-intercept = 22.

c) The line crosses the xx-axis at approximately (1.5,0)(-1.5, 0).

Answer: xx-intercept = 1.5-1.5.

d) The line crosses the xx-axis at (4,0)(4, 0).

Answer: xx-intercept = 44.


Part ii: State the value of the yy-intercept

The yy-intercept occurs where the line crosses the yy-axis (x=0x = 0).

a) The line crosses the yy-axis at (0,2)(0, 2).

Answer: yy-intercept = 22.

b) The line crosses the yy-axis at (0,4)(0, 4).

Answer: yy-intercept = 44.

c) The line crosses the yy-axis at approximately (0,2.5)(0, 2.5).

Answer: yy-intercept = 2.52.5.

d) The line crosses the yy-axis at (0,1)(0, -1).

Answer: yy-intercept = 1-1.
