Question

1. Find the x- and y-intercept of the line. (1 point) x - y = 12

Answer 1

The x-intercept is when the value of the y-coordinate is 0.

   $x - 0 = 12\\ x = 12$

Thus the x-intercept is at (12,0).

The y-intercept is when the value of the x-coordinate is 0

   $0-y=12\\y = -12$

Thus the y-intercept is at (0,-12)
