Chapter 3.1, Problem 22PPS

To determine

To write: The x- and y-intercepts of the graph of each linear function.

  

Answer to Problem 22PPS

The required answer is: x-intercept $=8$ and y- intercept $=4$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  

Solution:

To find the x- intercept, let $y=0$

  $x-\mathrm{int}ercept=8$

Here the x-intercept 8 means Eva’s distance from home after 8 minutes will be 0 or after 8 minutes she will reach home by reducing the distance to 0.

To find the y- intercept,

  $letx=0$

  $y-\mathrm{intercept}=4$

Here the y-intercept 4 means Eva’s distance from home is 4 meter at time 0.

Therefore, the x- intercept is 8 and y- intercept is 4 of the linear function.
