Find the x- and y-intercepts of the graph of the equation.
1.
y+=+sqrt%282x+-+1%29
set y=0 to find x- intercept
0= sqrt(2x - 1)
0= 2x - 1
x = 1/2 =>x- intercept is at (1%2F2,0)
set x=0 to find y-intercepts
y+=+sqrt%282%2A0+-+1%29
y+=+sqrt%28-+1%29
y+=+i-> there is no y-intercepts



2.
y+=+-abs%28x+%2B+10%29
set y=0 to find x- intercept
0=+-abs%28x+%2B+10%29
0=x+%2B+10
-10=x+=>x- intercept is at (-10,0)
set x=0 to find y-intercepts
y+=+-abs%280+%2B+10%29
y+=+-abs%2810%29
y+=+-10=>y- intercept is at (0,-10)
