Answers may vary. Yes. It is possible for a point to be on the x-axis or on the y-axis and therefore is considered to NOT be in one of the quadrants.

The y-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis.

The x-intercept is $\left(2,0\right)$ and the y-intercept is $\left(0,6\right).$

The x-intercept is $\left(2,0\right)$ and the y-intercept is $\left(0,\mathrm{-3}\right).$

The x-intercept is $\left(3,0\right)$ and the y-intercept is $\left(0,\frac{9}{8}\right).$

Midpoint of each diagonal is the same point $(2,2)$. Note this is a characteristic of rectangles, but not other quadrilaterals.

It means they have the same slope.

The exponent of the $x$ variable is 1. It is called a first-degree equation.

If we insert either value into the equation, they make an expression in the equation undefined (zero in the denominator).

It is a second-degree equation (the highest variable exponent is 2).

We want to take advantage of the zero property of multiplication in the fact that if $a\cdot b=0$ then it must follow that each factor separately offers a solution to the product being zero: $a=0or\text{b}=0.$

The quadratic equation would be $(100x\mathrm{-0.5}{x}^2)-(60x+300)=300.$ The two values of $x$ are 20 and 60.

This is not a solution to the radical equation, it is a value obtained from squaring both sides and thus changing the signs of an equation which has caused it not to be a solution in the original equation.

They are probably trying to enter negative 9, but taking the square root of $\mathrm{-9}$ is not a real number. The negative sign is in front of this, so your friend should be taking the square root of 9, cubing it, and then putting the negative sign in front, resulting in $\mathrm{-27.}$

A rational exponent is a fraction: the denominator of the fraction is the root or index number and the numerator is the power to which it is raised.

When we divide both sides by a negative it changes the sign of both sides so the sense of the inequality sign changes.

$\left(-\infty ,\infty \right)$

We start by finding the x-intercept, or where the function = 0. Once we have that point, which is $(3,0),$ we graph to the right the straight line graph $y=x\mathrm{-3},$ and then when we draw it to the left we plot positive y values, taking the absolute value of them.
