Question

1, What does the y_intercept mean2, What does the x_intercept mean3, identify the x intercept and the y intercept from. the equation y= 7/2x _ 2 x=_3

Answer 1

Y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, at this point x=0.

X-intecept is the point where the line crosses the x-axis, at this point y=0.

To identify the x intercept and y intercept, we are going to substitute x=0 and y=0 in the function:

$y=\frac{7}{2}x-2$

y=7/2(0)-2

y=-2 ---> y-intercept

0=7/2x-2

2=7/2x

2*2/7=x

x=4/7---> x-intercept
