Question

Given the equation y=2x+1The x intercept is______The y intercept is______

Answer 1

Step 1

Given;

`y=2x+1`

Required; find the x-intercept and y-intercept.

The x-intercept is found when we set y=0

`\begin{gathered} y=2x+1 \\ 0=2x+1 \\ x=-(1)/(2) \end{gathered}`

Step 2

The y-intercept is found when we set x=0

`\begin{gathered} y=2x+1 \\ y=2(0)+1 \\ y=1 \end{gathered}`

The answer in the (x,y) coordinate will be;

`\begin{gathered} x-intercept:(-(1)/(2),0) \\ \mathrm{Y\:Intercepts}:\:\left(0,\:1\right) \end{gathered}`
