Question

How do you find the x and y intercepts for `x + y = 6`?

Answer 1

`"x-intercept "=6," y-intercept "=6`

Explanation:

`"to find the intercepts, that is where the graph crosses"`
`"the x and y axes"`

`• " let x = 0, in the equation for y-intercept"`

`• " let y = 0, in the equation for x-intercept"`

`x=0rArr0+y=6rArry=6larrcolor(red)"y-intercept"`

`y=0rArrx+0=6rArrx=6larrcolor(red)"x-intercept"`
graph{(y+x-6)((x-0)^2+(y-6)^2-0.04)((x-6)^2+(y-0)^2-0.04)=0 [-20, 20, -10, 10]}

Answer 2

y assigning values to x ad the y

Explanation:

If x is zero, your y will be 6

If y is zero your x will be 6

The graph of your function (y=6-x)
