x and y intercepts 2010-05-10
From connor:
im not sure how to find the x intercept in questions like

2x+3y-12=0

5x-2y-12=0

if you could show me how to find the x and the y intercepts out of this equation that would be great

thanks connor

Graphing Rational Functions 2008-12-05
From Bahra:
The question in my homework is: Find all vertical, horizontal, and slant asymptotes, x- and y-intercepts, and symetries, and then graph each function. Check your work with a graphing calculator. y=3/x+3 meanng: ( y= 3 over x+3)

Intercepts 2007-09-15
From Bruce:
The equation is x^2-12.

I need to find the x-y intercepts and horizontal intervals (increasing & decreasing)

I would have thought the y intercept would be (0,-12) however the book came up with something different.
