Question

Determine the intercept of the line. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Where Y is 0

Answer 2

Answer:

x-intercept: (-7.5, 0)

y-intercept: (0, 5.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept is where the line touches (or intersects) the x-axis, and the y-intercept is where the line hits the y-axis.

To determine the intercepts of the line, look at the graph and see where the line touches the x-axis (the axis going horizontally).

It seems to hit exactly in between -8 and -7, so the x-intercept is -7.5.

On the y-axis, the line seems to touch right between 5 and 6, so the y-intercept is 5.5.

For the x-intercept, you only need to put the x-value so it is (-7.5, 0). The y-intercept only needs the y-value so it is (0, 5.5).
