Find the x-intercept of the rational function. A rational function is graphed in the second quadrant, and in the first, third and fourth quadrants are other pieces of the graph. The graph crosses the x axis at 6 and crosses the y axis at negative 2. (0, −2) (−2, 0) (0, 5) (5, 0)

The x-intercept is the x value when the line crosses the Y axis at y = 0

The x-intercept is (5,0)

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.
