The answer is 3/4 and -1/2

The intercepts of the graph are:
x-axis interception:
.
y-axis interception:
.

<h3>
Constructing a graph</h3>
For constructing a graph we have the following steps:
- Determine the range of values for x of your graph.
For this exercise, for example, we can define a range -4<x<4. In others words, the values of x will be in this interval.
Replace these x-values in the given equation. For example:
When x=-4, we will have:
. Do this for the all x-values of your ranges.
See the results for this step in the attached table.
Mark the points <u>x</u> and<u> y</u> that you found in the last step. After that, connect the dots to draw the graph.
The attached image shows the graph for the given function.
<h3>
Find the x- and y-intercepts</h3>
The intercepts are points that crosses the axes of your plot. From your graph is possible to see:
x-axis interception points (y=f(x)=0) are:
.
y-axis interception point (x=0) is:
.

The two problems are almost identical: you have to set up a system, and then solve it.
In the first case, let
and
be, respectively, the number of girls and boys.
We know that
(the number of girls in the Spanish Club is four more than twice the number of boys). Also, we know that
(there are 61 students in total).
So, we have the system

We can use the first equation to substitute in the second

And then solve for
:

For the second problem, let
and
be the number of pins knocked down by, respectively, Carrie and John. Just like before, we have the system
And you can solve it in the very same way we solved the previous one.
1 unit to the left of -1 on the number line is -2.
Thus, 7 units to the left of -1 is -8.
The appropriate choice is ...
... c. -8
