anonymous · Answer

you have to find the x and y intercepts of the equation. i have no idea how to do that :(

kohai · Answer

Okay, firstly, do you know what an intercept is?

anonymous · Answer

no i dont :( i dont understand it at all

An intercept is where the line crosses the axis

kohai · Answer

So this one has one y-intercept and two x-intercepts right?

anonymous · Answer

oh ok that makes sense. and oh it has 2?

kohai · Answer

Yeah because on the x-axis it crosses over twice

anonymous · Answer

oh i think i understand that
