Question

Find the x-intercept and y-intercept of y equals square root of x minus 2.

  1. x-intercept = 4; y-intercept = – 2
  2. x-intercept = – 4; y-intercept = 2
  3. x-intercept = 4; y-intercept = 2
  4. x-intercept = – 4; y-intercept = – 2

hintHint:

An intercept in mathematics is a location on the y-axis through which the line's slope passes. It is a place on the y-axis where a straight line or a curve crosses. This is reflected in the equation of the line, which is written as y = mx+c, where m denotes slope and c the y-intercept. Here we have given the equation y equals square root of x minus 2, we have to find the x-intercept and y-intercept.

The correct answer is: x-intercept = 4; y-intercept = – 2


    The term "intercept" refers to the location where a line or curve crosses a graph's axis. The x-intercept is the point at which the x-axis is crossed. The y-intercept is the point at which the y-axis is crossed.
    The x- or y-axis intersection point is what is meant when a line has an intercept. The y-axis is often taken into account if the axis is not stated. The letter "b" is typically used to represent it. Because the line is precisely vertical, regardless of how far off the top or bottom of the chart it is, it will always intersect the y-axis someplace.
    Now if y equals square root of x minus 2 intercepted the y-axis, then x=0, we get:
    y equals square root of 0 minus 2 equals negative 2
    Then it becomes (0,-2).
    Now if y equals square root of x minus 2 intercepted the x-axis, then y=0, we get:
    0 equals square root of x minus 2
square root of x equals 2
S q u a r i n g space b o t h space s i d e s comma space w e space g e t colon
x equals 4
    Then it becomes (4,0).
    x-intercept = 4; y-intercept = -2

    Here we used the concept of intercepts. The points on a graph where the graph crosses the two axes are known as the intercepts (x-axis and y-axis). The x-coordinate is the location where the graph crosses the x-axis, and the y-coordinate is the location where the graph crosses the y-axis. So the intercepts are x-intercept = 4; y-intercept = -2
