Hello and thank you for posting your question to Brainmass.
Intercept is a point when one of the values (x or y) in the coordinate (x,y) is zero.
If the value of x is zero, then the point is on the y axis (y intercept) - for example (0,2)
If the the value of y is zero than the point in on the x axis (x intercept) - for example (3,0)
20. At what points does the graph of
y = x^2 - 3x -10 cross the x-axis
When the line crosses the x axis, the value of y in the coordinate is zero. Then we get the equation:
0=x^2-3x-10
solving:
0=x^2+2x-5x-10
0=x(x+2)-5(x+2)
0=(x-5)(x+2)
We have two possible solutions: x=5 and x=-2
Thus we have two points where y=0: (5,0) and (-2,0)
