What are the intercepts for #x=4#?

Answer 1

Genesis Allen

x-intercept: #4#
There is no y-intercept.

#x=4# is a vertical line running parallel to and not crossing the Y-axis; therefore there is no y-intercept.

#x=4# for all values of #x# and specifically at the point where the line crosses the X-axis

To find the intercepts for x = 4, you can substitute x = 4 into the equation and solve for y. This will give you the y-coordinate of the point where the line intersects the y-axis. However, for a vertical line where x is constant, there are no x-intercepts. So, the x-intercept for x = 4 does not exist. For the y-intercept, it depends on the equation of the line. If it's a vertical line passing through x = 4, then the y-intercept is undefined. If it's a horizontal line, then the y-intercept is the value of y at x = 4.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
