Write the word or phrase that best completes each statement or answers the question.
-$$\frac { x ^ { 2 } } { 16 } = 1 - \frac { y ^ { 2 } } { 4 }$$
A) $x$-intercepts $\pm 4 ; y$-intercepts $\pm 2$
B) $x$-intercepts $\pm 16$; $y$-intercepts $\pm 2$
C) $x$-intercepts $\pm 4$; $y$-intercepts $\pm 16$
D) $x$-intercepts $\pm 2$; $\mathrm { y }$-intercepts $\pm 4$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the $x$-intercepts, set $y = 0$, which gives $\frac{x^2}{16} = 1$, leading to $x = \pm 4$. For the $y$-intercepts, set $x = 0$, which gives $-\frac{y^2}{4} = 0$, leading to $y = \pm 2$.
