Explanation Given: The function f ( x ) = x 2 − x − 6 x + 1 . Graph: In order to plot the graph of f ( x ) = x 2 − x − 6 x + 1 , substitute y at the place of f ( x ) and evaluate the value of y variable for each value of x variable. Here, the function f ( x ) = x 2 − x − 6 x + 1 is undefined at x = − 1 . So, x = − 1 is the vertical asymptote of the function. To find the value of y -intercept, substitute x = 0 as shown below: y = x 2 − x − 6 x + 1 = ( 0 ) 2 − 0 − 6 0 + 1 = − 6 1 = − 6 To find the value of y -intercept, substitute x = 3 as shown below: y = x 2 − x − 6 x + 1 = ( 3 ) 2 − 3 − 6 3 + 1 = 0 To find the value of y -intercept, substitute x = − 2 as shown below: y = x 2 − x − 6 x + 1 =

Question

System that uses coordinates to uniquely determine the position of points. The most common coordinate system is the Cartesian system, where points are given by distance along a horizontal x-axis and vertical y-axis from the origin. A polar coordinate system locates a point by its direction relative to a reference direction and its distance from a given point. In three dimensions, it leads to cylindrical and spherical coordinates.
