Setting x to zero instead of y would give which intercept?

AThe x-intercept
BThe origin point
CNo intercept
DThe y-intercept
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. The y-intercept
1. The two intercepts are found by mirrored steps. 2. To find the x-intercept, let y equal 0. 3. That locates where the line crosses the horizontal axis. 4. Setting x to 0 instead locates where it crosses the vertical axis. 5. That is the y-intercept. _Source: OpenStax Elementary Algebra 2e (CC BY 4.0), Ch 4 'Graphs', sections 4.1-4.7_
