Intercepts • y-intercept: where the graph crosses the y-axis. • Algebraically – set x=0 • x-intercept: where the graph crosses the x-axis. • Algebraically – Set y=0.
Example: Find the x- and y- intercepts of the graph
Symmetry of a Graph • The graph of an equation in x and y is symmetric with respect to the y-axis if replacing x by –x yields an equivalent equation.
Symmetry of a Graph 2. The graph of an equation in x andy is symmetric with respect to the x-axis if replacing y by –y yields an equivalent equation.
Symmetry of a Graph 3. The graph of an equation in xand yis symmetric with respect to the origin if replacing x by –x and y by –y yields an equivalent equation (unchanged by a rotation of 180°).
Example Test the graph of for symmetry.
