(Assignment) X intercept and Y intercept

Front

What is the definition of the x-intercept?

Back

The x-intercept is the point where a graph intersects the x-axis, meaning the value of y is zero at this point.

Front

How do you find the x-intercept of a linear equation?

Back

To find the x-intercept, set y to 0 in the equation and solve for x.

Front

What is the definition of the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where a graph intersects the y-axis, meaning the value of x is zero at this point.

Front

How do you find the y-intercept of a linear equation?

Back

To find the y-intercept, set x to 0 in the equation and solve for y.

Front

What is the significance of the coordinates (x, 0)?

Back

The coordinates (x, 0) represent the x-intercept of a graph.

Front

What is the significance of the coordinates (0, y)?

Back

The coordinates (0, y) represent the y-intercept of a graph.

Front

If a line crosses the x-axis at (4, 0), what is the x-intercept?

Back

The x-intercept is 4.

Front

If a line crosses the y-axis at (0, 3), what is the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is 3.

Front

What are the x- and y-intercepts of the line represented by the equation y = 2x - 10?

Back

The x-intercept is (5, 0) and the y-intercept is (0, -10).

Front

How can you determine both intercepts from the equation of a line?

Back

To determine both intercepts, set y to 0 to find the x-intercept and set x to 0 to find the y-intercept.
