Question 920609
x-intercept(s):


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


{{{y= (x+3)/(x-2)}}}


{{{0= (x+3)/(x-2)}}}


{{{0(x-2)= x+3}}}


{{{0= x+3}}}


{{{0-3= x}}}


{{{x = -3}}}


The x-intercept is (-3,0)


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


The y-intercept happens when x = 0


Plug in x = 0 and solve for y.


{{{y= (x+3)/(x-2)}}}


{{{y= (0+3)/(0-2)}}}


{{{y= -3/2}}}


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