Question

Determine the intercepts of the line that passes through the following points. (-5,-7) (0,-5) (5,-3)

Answer 1

To find the y intercept you use this equation:

y2 - y1

Same for x intercept:

x2 - x1

Pick two points, put in the values, and solve.

(-5,-7) and (0,-5)

-5 - (-7) = 2
0 - (-5) = 5

The y intercept is (0,2)
The x intercept is (5,0)

Hope this helps! :)
