8 Find x and y intercepts ofthe graph of x 4 9 Given 24 50 F

8. Find x- and y- intercepts ofthe graph of x -4. 9. Given (2,-4). (5,0) Find the following: a. the distance between the given points b. the midpoint ofthe line segment with the given endpoints

Solution

x= y² -4;
at x intercept put y=0 ;
we get x= 0- 4 = -4; Thus x intercept is at -4;

For y-intercept put x=0;
0= y²-4; Thus y²=4 so y= +2 or y=-2;
Thus y intercepts are 2 or -2;
