Calculate X and Y intercepts

Front

What is the y-intercept of a graph?

Back

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

Front

How do you find the y-intercept from an equation?

Back

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

Front

What is the x-intercept of a graph?

Back

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

Front

How do you find the x-intercept from an equation?

Back

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

Front

True or False: The x-intercept occurs where y is equal to zero.

Back

True.

Front

What does the ordered pair (0, 4) represent on a graph?

Back

It represents a y-intercept, where the graph crosses the y-axis at y = 4.

Front

What does the ordered pair (-1, 0) represent on a graph?

Back

It represents an x-intercept, where the graph crosses the x-axis at x = -1.

Front

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

Back

It means the line crosses the y-axis at -2.

Front

What is the significance of the x-intercept in a function?

Back

The x-intercept indicates the value of x when the output (y) is zero.

Front

How can you determine if a point is a y-intercept?

Back

A point is a y-intercept if its x-coordinate is 0.
