Check exact intercepts of four rational curves

Find the exact coordinates of the axial intercepts for the following curves.

(a) y=1/(3−x)y=1/(3-x).

(b) y=(2x+1)/(x−2)y=(2x+1)/(x-2).

(c) y=x2/(x−1)y=x^2/(x-1).

(d) y=(x2+2x−3)/(x+2)y=(x^2+2x-3)/(x+2).

Set y=0 for x-intercepts and x=0 for the y-intercept; retain every denominator restriction.
