Identifying the Intercepts from a TABLE



x -3 0 1 4 9
y 0 1 5 0 4

The x intercepts are (-3) and (4). The y intercept is (1).

Identifying the Intercepts from a Set of Points


Given (-3, 5), (-1, 0), (0, 7), (4, 0), (7, 11)

The x intercepts are all the x coordinates of the points where y =0.
The x intercepts are (-1) and (4).


Given (-3, 5), (-1, 0), (0, 7), (4, 0), (7, 11)

The y intercept is the second coordinate of the point where x = 0.
The y intercept is (7).

CONCEPT CHECK: The y intercept of the function: (-7, 0), (-3, 3), (-1, 0), (0, 1), (1, 0) is:
