Question

For x + square root of 2y = 4,
Adam says x-intercept is 4
Sophia says y-intercept is 2square root of 2
Elena says slope is fraction numerator negative 1 over denominator square root of 2 end fraction
Among them, whose answer is correct.

  1. Adam and Sophia
  2. Sophia and Elena
  3. Elena and Adam
  4. Adam, Sophia, and Elena

hintHint:

A y-intercept is a point where the graph of a function or relation intersects with the y-axis of the coordinate system. To find the y-intercept, set x = 0 and solve for y.

An x-intercept is a point where the graph of a function or relation intersects with the x-axis of the coordinate system. To find the x-intercept set y = 0 and solve for x.

In the standard equation of a line, y = mx + b, the slope is m. It is also commonly described as "rise over run" which tells us how much the y-value changes as the x-value changes.

Solve for all the three terms and compare with the statements given by Adam, Sophia, and Elena.

The correct answer is: Adam, Sophia, and Elena
