Question

Determine the intercepts of the line.

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  y-intercept (0, -6)

  x-intercept (-8, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

You're writing the coordinates of the points where the line crosses the axes.

The y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis. The y-coordinate there is -6. Because it is the y-axis, the x-coordinate is 0. Written as an ordered pair, the y-intercept is (0, -6).

The x-intercept is where the line crosses the x-axis. The x-coordinate there is -8. Because it is the x-axis, the y-coordinate is 0. Written as an ordered pair, the x-intercept is (-8, 0).
