#4 Write the x and y intercepts of the function f(x) = -2x - 7. If needed, write answers using simplified fractions. Use "/" as the fraction bar.
x-intercept: ( , )
y-intercept: ( , )

Answer

x-intercept: To find the x-intercept, set f(x) = 0 and solve for x.

0 = -2x - 7

2x = -7

x = -7/2

The x-intercept is (-7/2, 0).

y-intercept: To find the y-intercept, set x = 0 and solve for f(x).

f(0) = -2(0) - 7 = -7

The y-intercept is (0, -7).
