Question 920609: can you help me find the x and y intercepts of the rational function:
y= (x+3)/(x-2)

x-intercept(s):

the x-intercepts occur when y = 0. Plug in y = 0 and solve for x.













The x-intercept is (-3,0)

-------------------------------------------------------

The y-intercept happens when x = 0

Plug in x = 0 and solve for y.







The y-intercept is (0, -3/2) which is the same as (0, -1.5) because -3/2 = -1.5


Let me know if you need more help or if you need me to explain a step in more detail.
