Why does a y-intercept not count as a zero?

It only counts as a zero when the y-intercept is (0,0).

Step-by-step explanation:

The zeros of a quadratic function are always written as (x,0), while the y-intercept is always written as (0,y). Therefore, in order for a y-intercept to be a zero, it must be (0,0), because the y-coordinate in any zero is 0. At any other time, the y-intercept is not a zero.

the answer is (-8,-5)

step-by-step explanation:

the endpoint to midpoint is half the length. the length is (-2,-1) so when you are at the midpoint just add it to it to find your answer -6+(-2)= -8 and -4+(-1)=-5 so (-8,-5)

solve systems of equations by graphing. a system of linear equations contains two or more equations e.g. y=0.5x+2 and y=x-2. the solution of such a system is the ordered pair that is a solution to both equations. to solve a system of linear equations graphically we graph both equations in the same coordinate system
