How many x- and y-intercepts can the graph of an equation have? How about the graph of a function?

Given an equation, how do you find the intercepts of its graph?

• To find the x-intercepts, set y = 0 and solve for x.

• To find the y-intercepts, set x = 0 and solve for y.

Find the x- and y-intercepts of y = – x2 – 5x.

How would an understanding of symmetry help you graph an equation?

When it comes to graphs, there are three basic symmetries:

1. xx-axis symmetry-axis symmetry: If (x, y) is on the graph, then (x, -y) is also on the graph.

, ,x y x y

When it comes to graphs, there are three basic symmetries:

2. yy-axis symmetry-axis symmetry: If (x, y) is on the graph, then (-x, y) is also on the graph.

The set of all coplanar points is a circlecircle if and only if they are equidistant from a given point in the plane.

Find the equation of points (x, y) that are r units from (h, k).

Two lines are parallel parallel lineslines iff they are coplanar and never intersect.

Two lines are perpendicular lines perpendicular lines iff they intersect to form a right angle.

Two lines are parallel parallel lineslines iff they have the same slope.

Two lines are perpendicular lines perpendicular lines iff their slopes are negative reciprocals.
