Identify X and Y intercepts

Front

What is the x-intercept of a graph?

Back

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

Front

What is the y-intercept of a graph?

Back

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

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

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 in standard form?

Back

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

Front

What is the standard form of a linear equation?

Back

The standard form of a linear equation is Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are constants.

Identify the x-intercept of the equation: 2x + 3y = 6.

Back

(3, 0) - Set y = 0: 2x = 6, x = 3.

Front

Identify the y-intercept of the equation: 4x - y = 8.

Back

(0, -8) - Set x = 0: -y = 8, y = -8.

Front

What does the y-intercept represent in a real-world context?

Back

It represents the starting value of a situation when the independent variable is zero.

Front

If a line has an x-intercept of (5, 0), what does this indicate?

Back

It indicates that the line crosses the x-axis at x = 5.

Front

If a line has a y-intercept of (0, -2), what does this indicate?

Back

It indicates that the line crosses the y-axis at y = -2.
