On a coordinate plane, a curved line crosses the x-axis at (negative 1, 0), and crosses the y-axis at (0, negative 3).

What are the intercepts of the graphed function?

x-intercept = (–1, 0)
y-intercept = (–3, 0)
x-intercept = (0, –1)
y-intercept = (0, –3)
x-intercept = (0, –1)
y-intercept = (–3, 0)
x-intercept = (–1, 0)
y-intercept = (0, –3

step-by-step explanation:

we need to solve for 'x' the following equation:  

we have that:

⇒

⇒ ⇒

factorizing, we get that:

  ⇒

then, the solutions are: or

nothing extraneous has been found!

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
