Concept explainers
To write:The x- and y-intercepts of each linear function.
Answer to Problem 3GP
The required answer is: x-intercept
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The table shows the function relating the distance to an amusement park in miles and the time in hours, the Torres family has driven.
Solution:
To find the x- intercept, let
(4 is the value of x in fifth row of x column when
The x- intercept is 4, this means that after 4 hours drive the Torres family has 0 distances to travel or they have reached the amusement park.
To find the y- intercept,
(248 is the value of y in first row of y column when x = 0 )
The y- intercept is 248, this means that at time 0 the Torres family is 248 meters away from the amusement park.
Therefore, the x- intercept is 4 and y- intercept is 248 of the graph of the linear function.
