Intercepts of a Function

How does one use the graph of a function to find any intercept?


The greatest truth about the Rapture is not its timing but it's reality.

Use def. of intercepts
Intercepts are where graphs cross (or maybe just touch) an axis
so look on the graph to see where it crosses (or touches)

Can you show me with a graph or two? I still don't know how to upload photos here?

Re: Intercepts of a Function

Pick any graph of any function
find where the grpah crosses y-axis: this is y-int
find where the graph crosses x-axis: this is x-int

I have decided to only use this site to ask for help with questions that I totally do not understand. Posting hundreds of questions each week is meaningless.
