x-intercept: -4
y-intercept: +1
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-axis is the horizontal line on the graph with "x" marked at the right end. It is also identified by the "0" among the numbers on the vertical scale at the left side of the graph.
You can consider the x-axis to be a number line. The numbers on that number line are those of the horizontal sequence of numbers at the bottom of the graph. (On many graphs, they're shown adjacent to the x-axis in the middle of the page. That's not the case here.) These numbers are the x-coordinate of any point with the corresponding horizontal position.
The x-intercept is where the blue line crosses the x-axis. It is marked with a dot on the vertical line that has -4 at the bottom. That -4 is the x-coordinate of the x-intercept, the value the problem is asking for.
___
The y-axis is the vertical line on the graph with "y" marked at the top end. It is also identified by the "0" among the numbers on the horizontal scale at the bottom of the graph.
You can consider the y-axis to be a number line. The numbers on that number line are those of the vertical sequence of numbers at the left side of the graph. (On many graphs, they're shown adjacent to the y-axis in the middle of the page. That's not the case here.) These numbers are the y-coordinate of any point with the corresponding vertical position.
The y-intercept is where the blue line crosses the y-axis. It is marked with a dot on the horizontal line that has 1 at the left side. That 1 is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept, the value the problem is asking for.
___
The (x, y) coordinates of the x-intercept are (-4, 0). The y-coordinate is always zero, because that is the definition of x-intercept: the x-coordinate of the point on the graph where y=0.
The (x, y) coordinates of the y-intercept are (0, 1). The x-coordinate is always zero, because that is the definition of y-intercept: the y-coordinate of the point on the graph where x=0.
