Question

What are the x- and y-intercepts of the quadratic equation y = x2 + 2x - 3?

Answer 1

x-intercept means where does it cross/touch the x-axis. On x-axis, y = 0.
Set y = 0 and solve for x.

y-intercept means where does it cross/touch the y-axis. On y-axis, x = 0.
Set x = 0 and calculate y.
