Question

Find the x- and y-intercepts (if any) of the graph of the equation y = - = x + 2

Answer 1

see below

Explanation:

Not sure whether the equation is y = x + 2 or y = -x + 2?

If y = x + 2

x-intercept is where y = 0

0 = x + 2 => x = -2

x-intercept is (-2,0)

y-intercept is where x = 0

y = 0 + 2 => y = 2

y-intercept is (0,2)

If y = - x + 2

x-intercept is where y = 0

0 = - x + 2 => x = 2

x-intercept is (2,0)

y-intercept is where x = 0

y = 0 + 2 => y = 2

y-intercept is (0,2)
