Write the two points where the graph cuts the x-axis and the y-axis

1 answer

To find the points where a graph cuts the x-axis, we need to find the x-coordinate(s) where the graph intersects the x-axis. Similarly, to find the points where a graph cuts the y-axis, we need to find the y-coordinate(s) where the graph intersects the y-axis.

The point(s) where the graph cuts the x-axis will have a y-coordinate of zero, and the point(s) where the graph cuts the y-axis will have an x-coordinate of zero.

Let's consider a general graph with an equation y = f(x).

1. Points where the graph cuts the x-axis: Set y = 0 and solve for x.
f(x) = 0

2. Points where the graph cuts the y-axis: Set x = 0 and solve for y.
y = f(0)

By solving these equations, we can find the required points.
