Explain how to determine the x- and y- intercepts of a line from a given equation in y = mx + b form.

Step-by-step explanation:

x-intercept:  Set y = 0 and solve for x:

 0 = mx + b, or mx = -b, or x = -b/m.  x-intercept is then (-b/m, 0)

y-intercept:  Set x = 0 and solve for y:  y = m(0) + b, or y = b.  y-intercept is then

 (0, b).

the correct is answer is a 9-sided polygon!

(1, –1), (16, –4), (36, –6)

step-by-step explanation:

given that the function is

this can also be written as

we have to graph this function and check which list of points lie on the graph

see attachment for graph:

we find that the points lying are (1,-1) (16,-4) and (36,-6)

since square root is there we find that x can only be posiitve but y can be since square root both positive and negative.
