1. The problem is to find and explain the x and y values for a function or equation. 2. The x-values typically represent the inputs or independent variable values. 3. The y-values represent the outputs or dependent variable values calculated based on x. 4. To find x-intercepts, set the function equal to zero and solve for x: $$f(x) = 0$$. 5. To find y-intercepts, set $$x=0$$ and solve for y: $$y = f(0)$$. 6. For example, for the function $$y = 2x + 3$$: - x-intercept: Set $$2x + 3 = 0$$, so $$x = -\frac{3}{2}$$. - y-intercept: At $$x=0$$, $$y = 2(0)+3 = 3$$. 7. These intercepts help understand where the graph crosses axes.
