y-(-14)=0(x-12)y−(−14)=0(x−12)
Step 1
Step 1.1
To find the x-intercept(s), substitute in 00 for yy and solve for xx.
(0)-(-14)=0(x-12)(0)−(−14)=0(x−12)
Step 1.2
Solve the equation.
Step 1.2.1
Rewrite the equation as 0(x-12)=(0)-(-14)0(x−12)=(0)−(−14).
0(x-12)=(0)-(-14)0(x−12)=(0)−(−14)
Step 1.2.2
Multiply 00 by x-12x−12.
0=(0)-(-14)0=(0)−(−14)
Step 1.2.3
Simplify (0)-(-14)(0)−(−14).
Step 1.2.3.1
Multiply -1−1 by -14−14.
0=0+140=0+14
Step 1.2.3.2
Add 00 and 1414.
0=140=14
0=140=14
Step 1.2.4
Since 0≠140≠14, there are no solutions.
No solution
No solution
Step 1.3
To find the x-intercept(s), substitute in 00 for yy and solve for xx.
x-intercept(s): NoneNone
x-intercept(s): NoneNone
Step 2
Step 2.1
To find the y-intercept(s), substitute in 00 for xx and solve for yy.
y-(-14)=0((0)-12)y−(−14)=0((0)−12)
Step 2.2
Solve the equation.
Step 2.2.1
Multiply -1−1 by -14−14.
y+14=0((0)-12)y+14=0((0)−12)
Step 2.2.2
Simplify 0((0)-12)0((0)−12).
Step 2.2.2.1
Subtract 1212 from 00.
y+14=0⋅-12y+14=0⋅−12
Step 2.2.2.2
Multiply 00 by -12−12.
y+14=0y+14=0
y+14=0y+14=0
Step 2.2.3
Subtract 1414 from both sides of the equation.
y=-14y=−14
y=-14y=−14
Step 2.3
y-intercept(s) in point form.
y-intercept(s): (0,-14)(0,−14)
y-intercept(s): (0,-14)(0,−14)
Step 3
List the intersections.
x-intercept(s): NoneNone
y-intercept(s): (0,-14)(0,−14)
