Chapter 3: Q. 38 (page 251)

Find the intercepts of the equationx-y=-4.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The intercepts of the given equation are (-4,0) and (0,4).

Step by step solution

01

GIven information

The equationx-y=-4is given to find the intercepts.

02

Find the intercept on abscissa

The intercepts are the points where the corresponding variables obtain the value zero.

  • Hence make the corresponding variables zero to find the required.
  • Substitute each y by 0 into the given equation to find the intercept on the abscissa.

x-y=-4x-0=-4x=-4

03

Find the intercept on ordinate

Now substitute each xby 0 into the given equation and solve to find the intercept on the ordinate.

x-y=-40-y=-4-y=-4y=4
