Preparation for Calculus
Section 1.1 Graphs and Models
1. To find the x-intercepts of the graph of an equation, 8. y = 5 − 2 x
let y be zero and solve the equation for x. To find the 5
y-intercepts of the graph of an equation, let x be zero x −1 0 1 2 2
3 4
and solve the equation for y. y 7 5 3 1 0 −1 −3
2. Symmetry helps in sketching a graph because you need
only half as many points to plot. Answers will vary.
3. y = − 32 x + 3
x-intercept: ( 2, 0)
