Can someone help me find the x and y intercept?

OpenStudy (unofficialllyy):

OpenStudy (unofficialllyy):

I got -2 for the y intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you are correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be (-2,2)

OpenStudy (unofficialllyy):

Thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem :D

Nnesha (nnesha):

y-intercept is a point where line intersect y-axis when x=0 and x-intercept is apoint where line intersect x-axis when y=0 so when when x=-2 y isn't equal to 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x wouldn't be -2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it would be 2

Nnesha (nnesha):

y-intercept is -2 that's correct when x=0 y=-2 how would you write in order pair

Nnesha (nnesha):

as an order pair (x,y)

OpenStudy (unofficialllyy):

So its 2,-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but they are asking for the x and y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (unofficialllyy):

Yes x and y intercepts.

Nnesha (nnesha):

correct what did you get for x-intercept ?? =unofficially

OpenStudy (unofficialllyy):

2

Nnesha (nnesha):

|dw:1448927507626:dw| when y=-2 x =0 so as an order pair you should write (0,-2) for y -intercept

OpenStudy (unofficialllyy):

I think it can only be 1 number though.

Nnesha (nnesha):

what do you mean ?

OpenStudy (unofficialllyy):

You said I should write (0,-2) for y intercept but I do not have the option to make parenthesis.

Nnesha (nnesha):

i'm just saying you can't write x and y intercept like (-2,2) this is wrong that means when x=-2 y=2 which is not true you can loook at the graph

OpenStudy (unofficialllyy):

Oh got it. Yeah I know you couldnt write it as (-2,2). So I got x intercept= 2 and y intercept=-2. I dont write it as an ordered pair.

Nnesha (nnesha):

order pair (x,y) first number rrepresent x-coordinate 2nd number = y-coordinate

Nnesha (nnesha):

alright now looks good

OpenStudy (unofficialllyy):

Thanks!

Nnesha (nnesha):

np order would be (0,-2) for y-intercept and (2,0) for x-intercept
