Question

How do you find the x and y intercept of `x – y = 1`?

Answer 1

`x`-intercept is `(1,0)` and `y`-inercept is `(0,-1)`.

Explanation:

For any function, simple rule is that to find `x`-intercept put `y=0` and to find `y`-intercept put `x=0`.

Hence for `x-y=1`, `x`-intercept is given by `x-0=1` or `x=1` and `y`-intercept is given by `0-y=1` or `y=-1`.

Hence `x`-intercept is `(1,0)` and `y`-inercept is `(0,-1)`.
