Show answer and solution
Answer: (D) Neither 1 nor 2
Writing shows that the slope is , not , so statement 1 is false; the sign is the whole trap. Putting gives , so the x-intercept is , and is the y-intercept (put : ). Statement 2 is therefore false as well, since it confuses the two intercepts. Neither statement is correct.
