Question

How do you find the x and y intercepts for `y = x + 2`?

Answer 1

`x` intercept is `-2` and `y` intercept is `2`.

Explanation:

`color(white)xxy=x+2`

For `y=0`,
`color(white)xxx+2=0`
`=>x+2color(red)(-2)=0color(red)(-2)`
`=>x=-2`

For `x=0`,
`color(white)xxy=0+2`
`=>y=2`

`x` intercept is `-2` and `y` intercept is `2`.
