Remember that the y-intercept is where the function has a value of
and the x-intercept is where the function has a value of
. Thus, to find the x-intercept and y-intercept, we can substitute these values into the equation and solve for the other variable.
<u>x-intercept</u>
Since the x-intecept has a y-value of 0, we can substitute this into the function and solve for
.



The x-value of the x-intercept is
and the y-value is 0, meaning that the x-intercept has coordinates
.
<u>y-intercept</u>
Since the y-intercept has a x-value of 0, we can substitute this into the equation and solve for
:


The y-value of the y-intercept is -3, meaning that the y-intercept of the function is
.
The answer is C.
Tim reads 2 more times than Kelly(2x) and then you add 5 because Jim reads 5 more hours than Tim.
If you where to be dividing the answer would be that they both drove 270 miles each
