Front

What is the definition of the x-intercept?

Back

The x-intercept of a function is the point where the graph of the function crosses the x-axis, which occurs when y = 0.

What is the definition of the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept of a function is the point where the graph of the function crosses the y-axis, which occurs when x = 0.

Front

True or false: The y-intercept of a function is located on the x-axis.

Back

How do you find the x-intercept of the equation 4x + 2y = -12?

Back

Set y = 0 and solve for x: 4x = -12, so x = -3.
