Finding x- and y- intercept

Front

What is the x-intercept of a graph?

Back

The x-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the x-axis. At this point, the value of y is 0.

Front

What is the y-intercept of a graph?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis. At this point, the value of x is 0.

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

Back

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

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the ordered pair for the x-intercept if x = 4?

Back

The ordered pair for the x-intercept is (4, 0).

Front

What is the ordered pair for the y-intercept if y = 3?

Back

The ordered pair for the y-intercept is (0, 3).

Front

If a line has an x-intercept of -2, what is the point?

Back

The point is (-2, 0).

Front

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

Back

The point is (0, 5).

Front

What does it mean if a graph has no x-intercept?

Back

It means the graph does not cross the x-axis, indicating that the equation has no real solutions for y = 0.

Front

What does it mean if a graph has no y-intercept?

Back

It means the graph does not cross the y-axis, which is not possible for a linear equation.
