x-intercept: The value of x when f(x)=0 (Set the equation equal to zero and solve for x) y-intercept: The value of f(x) when x=0 (Replace x with 0 and solve for f(x))

I recommend you do this step by step when telling her how to get the answer That way she understands it for the test or something

OpenStudy (ddcamp):

Let's start by finding the x intercept, where f(x) = 0 We have: \[f(x) = \frac{2}{3}x+4 \\ 0 = \frac{2}{3}x+4\] Can you solve that for x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oooh x-int= -6 & y-int= 4 ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes^

OpenStudy (ddcamp):

Yup. g(x) = - f(x), which means its the same, but flipped upside down (over the x-axis) What would flipping the graph do to the x-intercept. The y-intercept?

OpenStudy (ddcamp):

Not quite. Let's look at a picture to see what happens: |dw:1399079981744:dw|
