Chapter 8.3, Problem 4E

To determine

To identify:

Thex -intercept and y -intercept of theline.

Answer to Problem 4E

x -intercept: $(-2,0)$

y -intercept: $(0,4)$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

A graph:

Calculation:

We know thatx -intercept is the point, where the line crosses the x -axis.Upon looking at our given graph, we can see that the line crosses x -axis at $(-2,0)$ , therefore, the x -intercept of our given graph is $(-2,0)$ .

We know that y -intercept is the point, where the line crosses the y -axis. Upon looking at our given graph, we can see that the line crosses y -axis at $(0,4)$ , therefore, the y -intercept of our given graph is $(0,4)$ .
