Intercepts of Linear Graphs

Front

What are the x- and y-intercepts of a linear graph?

Back

The x-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the x-axis (y=0), and the y-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis (x=0).

Front

What does the ordered pair (0, 0) represent in a linear graph?

Back

It represents the origin, which is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

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.

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

Front

What is the significance of the y-intercept in a linear graph?

Back

The y-intercept indicates the value of y when x is zero, showing where the line crosses the y-axis.

Back

The x-intercept indicates the value of x when y is zero, showing where the line crosses the x-axis.

Front

If a line passes through the origin, what can be said about its intercepts?

Back

Both the x-intercept and y-intercept are (0, 0).

Front

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

Back

It means the line does not cross the x-axis, indicating that y is never zero for any value of x.

If a line has a y-intercept of (0, 4), what does this indicate?

Back

It indicates that the line crosses the y-axis at the point (0, 4).
