Question: Tell me how to find x and
y-intercepts when you don't have a
graph to look at. What do those
points tell us?

"The x-intercept is where a line crosses the x-axis, and the y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. Thinking about intercepts helps us graph linear equations."

Step-by-step explanation:

i got this answer from the site: www.khanacademy.org

step-by-step explanation:

here's what happens:

1) the graph of f   = x^2 is shifted 2 units to the right.

2) the resulting graph is reflected in the x-axis, so that the parabola now opens down.

3) this final result is transformed up by 5 units.

(3x-8) or (3x+8)
