Question

I need help on finding x and y intercepts
on my homework

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

ok thanks but i dont get how to find x and y intercept on a graph

Answer 3

its the x-intercept where graph cuts the x-axis
its the y-intercept where graph cuts the y-axis

Answer 4

ok so can you help me with this
A bamboo plant is growing 1 foot per day. when you first measure it, it is 4ft tall
a). write an equation to describe the height in y, in feet, of bamboo plant x-days after you measure it
b).what is the y-intercept
c). what is the meaning of the y-intercept in this problem

Answer 5

a) 1 foot per day tall, that is slope or 'rate of growth'
if you multiply it number of days 'x', u get total height,
but initially it was 4ft tall, so you have to add that.
the equation becomes
y= 4x+4
got this part ?

Answer 6

ok

Answer 7

b)
to get y-intercept put x=0
what u get when u put x=0 in y=4x+4 ?

Answer 8

i got 4

Answer 9

that is correct y-intercept.
C) here y-intercept will tell you initial height of bamboo tree

Answer 10

thank you so much im going to need you to be my new tutor

Answer 11

i have another problem

Answer 12

new question, new post.

Answer 13

1.)4y+5x+ 2y-3x=16
2.)2x =y=10x-1
