Flashcard X and Y intercepts

Front

What are the x and y intercepts of the equation 3x - 2y = 12?

Back

x intercept: (4, 0), y intercept: (0, -6)

Front

How do you find the x intercept of the equation 1/2 x + 4Y = -8?

Back

Set y = 0 and solve for x: x intercept = -16.

Front

Where does the y-intercept occur on a graph?

Back

The y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

Identify the intercepts for the equation with y intercept (0,4) and x intercept (2,0).

Back

y intercept: (0, 4), x intercept: (2, 0)

Front

What are the x and y intercepts of the equation 4x - 5y = 40?

Back

x intercept: (10, 0), y intercept: (0, -8)

Front

Define x-intercept.

Back

The x-intercept is the point where a line crosses the x-axis (y=0).

Front

Define y-intercept.

Back

The y-intercept is the point where a line crosses the y-axis (x=0).

Front

How do you find the y intercept of the equation 2x + 3y = 6?

Back

Set x = 0 and solve for y: y intercept = 2.

Front

What is the significance of intercepts in a linear equation?

Back

Intercepts help to graph the line and understand its behavior.

Front

If a line has an x intercept of 5, what does this mean?

Back

It means the line crosses the x-axis at the point (5, 0).
