Question

Which of the following graph represents the $x$-intercept and $y$-intercept correctly?

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Concept:
The point at which the straight line crosses the $x$-axis is called $x$-intercept.
The point at which the straight line crosses the $y$-axis is called $y$-intercept.
Option(a):
In this graph, the straight line crosses the $x$-axis and $y$-axis at $5$ and $6$ respectively.
Hence, $x-$intercept $=5$ and $y-$intercept $=6$.
Option (a) is correct.

Option(b):
In this graph, the straight line crosses the $x$-axis and $y$-axis at $5$ and $6$ respectively.
Hence, $x-$intercept $=5$ and $y-$intercept $=6$ which is written incorrectly on the graph.
Option (b) is incorrect.

Option(c):
The straight line crosses the $x$-axis at $x$-intercept and $y$-axis at $y$-intercept. But in this graph, the straight line crosses the $x$-axis at $y$-intercept and $y$-axis at $x$-intercept respectively.
Hence, The representation of $x$-intercept and $y$-intercept on this graph is incorrect.
Option (c) is incorrect.

Option(d):
The straight line crosses the $x$-axis at $x$-intercept and $y$-axis at $y$-intercept. But in this graph, the straight line crosses the $x$-axis at $y$-intercept and $y$-axis at $x$-intercept respectively.
Hence, The representation of $x$-intercept and $y$-intercept on this graph is incorrect.
​​​​​​​Option (d) is incorrect.
