Question 672309: I am stumped on this! Please help me go through the steps so I can get it!!
FOR THE GIVEN EQUATION, LIST THE INTERCEPTS AND TEST FOR SYMMETRY.
y=-x^7/x^6-8
Any help on this would help so much! Thank you!

FOR THE GIVEN EQUATION, LIST THE INTERCEPTS AND TEST FOR SYMMETRY.
y=-x^7/x^6-8
**
y-intercepts, set x=0
y=-x^7/(x^6-8)
y=0/(0-8)=0
y-intercept=0
..
x-intercepts, set y=0
0=-x^7/(x^6-8)
-x^7=0
x=0
x-intercept=0
..
Test for symmetry:
-x gives y
x gives -y
when we get opposite values of y at x or -x, graph is symmetrical about the origin
