Concept explainers
To Find: The x- and y-intercepts of the graph of each linear function.
Answer to Problem 6CYU
The required answer is: x-intercept
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Calculation:
To find the x- intercept, let
(
The x- intercept is 12, this means that after 12 seconds the scuba diver is at depth 0 or he has reached the surface.
To find the y- intercept,
(-24 is the value of y in first row of y column whenx = 0 )
The y- intercept is -24, this means that at time 0 the position of the scuba diver will be 24 meter deep below the surface.
Therefore, the x- intercept is 12 and y- intercept is -24 of the graph of the linear function.
