x and y intercepts

Front

What is the definition of a y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where a line crosses the y-axis, represented as (0, y).

Front

How do you identify the y-intercept from a table of values?

Back

The y-intercept can be identified as the value of y when x is equal to 0.

Front

What is the definition of an x-intercept?

Back

The x-intercept is the point where a line crosses the x-axis, represented as (x, 0).

Front

How do you identify the x-intercept from a list of ordered pairs?

Back

The x-intercept can be identified as the ordered pair where y is equal to 0.

Front

Given the ordered pair (a, b), what does it represent in a coordinate system?

Back

The ordered pair (a, b) represents a point in a 2D coordinate system where 'a' is the x-coordinate and 'b' is the y-coordinate.

Front

What is the significance of the point (0, y) in a graph?

Back

The point (0, y) represents the y-intercept of the graph.

Front

What is the significance of the point (x, 0) in a graph?

Back

The point (x, 0) represents the x-intercept of the graph.

Front

How can you determine the x-intercept from a graph?

Back

The x-intercept can be determined by finding the point where the graph intersects the x-axis.

Front

What is the relationship between the x-intercept and the slope of a line?

Back

The x-intercept can be used to calculate the slope of a line when combined with another point on the line.

Front

If a line has a y-intercept of 5, what is the point on the graph?

Back

The point on the graph is (0, 5).
