Question

Find the X-intercept and Y-intercept

(x-3)^2+(y+4)^2=25

Answer 1

hint :to get x-intercept put y=0 in the equation
to get y-intercept put x=0 in the equation

Answer 2

Ahhh.... Thank you.. That's all I needed to know.

Answer 3

welcome ^_^

Answer 4

Ok.. So... In this case both the X and Y intercept would be 0? I think that is correct... But just varifying.

Answer 5

whaen u put y=0, u get (x-3)^2=3^2
yes, both intercepts are 0 here.
but there are more than 1 intercepts to this curve.

Answer 6

for example 2 x-intercepts are (0,0)and(6,0)

Answer 7

Hmmmmm.... I'm going to have to think about that for a minute.. I understand what you're saying though.

Answer 8

Ohh. Ok.. So I looked up similar problems and I got what you're saying. So the X and Y intercepts for this problem would be (0,0) for x and (0,0) for y.

Answer 9

i would rather write both the intercepts.
x-intercepts are (0,0) and (6,0)
y-intercepts are (0,0) and (0,-8)

Answer 10

did u get how i found the other intercepts ?
