Question.2973 -   If a line has no y-intercept, what can you say about the line? What if a line has no x-intercept? Think of a real-life situation where a graph would have no x- or y-intercept. Will what you say about the line always be true in that situation_  

Answer Below:

1)      No y-intercept means line never crosses y-axis, i.e. parallel to the y-axis.  This indicated that it is a vertical line. Example: x=11. The slope of this line is undefined. 2)      No x-intercept means line never intersects x-axis, i.e. parallel to the x-axis.   This slope of such line is zero. 3)      A real-life situation, a graph between cost of bill vs number of dishes ordered. The cost goes up as items ordered increases. But if you eat at a buffet, the graph will be a horizontal line. With no x-intercept. But the line may not be true in all situations.
