Q. 8 - Precalculus Enhanced with Graphing Utilities

Question

True or False :

To find the y-intercepts of the graph of an equation, let x = 0 and solve for y.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The given statement is True .

Step 1: Given information:

The given statement is :

To find the y-intercepts of the graph of an equation, let x = 0 and solve for y.

Step 2:

To find the intercepts, we have to consider one of it as  "Zero" and solve for the other.

Example: $y=x+2$

x	y
0	2
-2	0

Here, when $x=0$, we get $y-value as 2.$ 

$\left(0,2\right)$ is the y-intercept.

And when $y=0$, we get $x-value as -2.$

$\left(-2,0\right)$ is the x-intercept.
