the graph of a linear function is shown on the grid.

what are the x-intercept and the y-intercept of the line?
a x-intercept: (6,0) intercept: (0,-3) y-
b x-intercept: (0,6) intercept: (-3,0) y-
c x-intercept: (-3,0) intercept: (0,6) y-
d x-intercept: (0,-3) intercept: (6,0) y-

To determine the x-intercept and y-intercept of a linear function, we can refer to the definitions:

  • The x-intercept is the point where the line crosses the x-axis. This occurs when \( y = 0 \). So, the x-intercept will be in the form \( (x, 0) \).

  • The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. This occurs when \( x = 0 \). So, the y-intercept will be in the form \( (0, y) \).

From the options you provided, let's analyze them:

a) x-intercept: (6,0) y-intercept: (0,-3)
b) x-intercept: (0,6) y-intercept: (-3,0)
c) x-intercept: (-3,0) y-intercept: (0,6)
d) x-intercept: (0,-3) y-intercept: (6,0)

Based on these, you can identify the correct intercepts depending on the actual graph of the line.

However, I cannot see the graph you are referring to. Please review the graph and see which option correctly corresponds with the points where the line intersects the x-axis and y-axis, and select the appropriate option based on that visual.

If you provide more details or a description of the graph, I could help analyze it better!
