x and y intercepts

Front

The y-intercept is where a graphed line crosses the ________

Back

y axis

Front

What is the x-intercept?

Back

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

Front

Identify the x-intercept of the equation x - y = -3.

Back

The x-intercept is (3, 0).

Front

Which ordered pair could represent a y-intercept on a graph?

Back

(0, 4) is a y-intercept because it has an x-coordinate of 0.

Front

From the equation y = 4x - 12, identify the y-intercept.

Back

The y-intercept is -12.

What does the x-intercept represent in a graph?

Back

The x-intercept represents the value of x when y is 0.

Front

How do you find the y-intercept from the equation y = mx + b?

Front

What is the significance of the point (0, 0) in relation to intercepts?

Back

(0, 0) is the origin and can be both an x-intercept and a y-intercept if the graph crosses at that point.

Front

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

Back

The point is (0, 5).

Front

How can you determine the x-intercept from the equation 2x + 3y = 6?

Back

Set y = 0 and solve for x: 2x = 6, so x = 3. The x-intercept is (3, 0).
