x-intercept


To find the x-intercept, plug in and solve for x


Start with the given equation.


Plug in .


Multiply and 0 to get 0.


Simplify.


Divide both sides by to isolate .


So the x-intercept is .

y-intercept


To find the y-intercept, plug in and solve for y


Start with the given equation.


Plug in .


Multiply and 0 to get 0.


Simplify.


Divide both sides by to isolate .


Reduce.


So the y-intercept is .


Now let's plot the points and which are the x and y intercepts respectively.





Now draw a straight line through the plotted points to graph .
