Example Question #75 : X And Y Intercept

True or false: The lines of the equations 

and

have the same -intercept.

Possible Answers:

True

False

Correct answer:

False

Explanation:

The -intercept of a line is the point at which it intersects the -axis; its -coordinate at this point is 0, so its -coordinate can be found by substituting 0 for  in the equation and solving for . Do this with both equations:

The -intercept of the line is at .

 

The -intercept of the line is at .

The two lines have different -intercepts.
