Solution Summary

This provides a brief explanation of intercepts with graphing a quadratic function.

Solution Preview

Intercepts on axes are nothing but the points where a curve cuts the axes.
To compute the intercept on y-axis, we need to find the y-coordinate of the point where the curve cuts y-axis. As we know that the x-coordinate ...
