Graphs of Functions: Intercepts

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the y-intercept of a graph?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects the y-axis.

Front

What does it mean if a graph has no y-intercept?

Back

The graph does not intersect the y-axis.

Front

What is the x-intercept of a graph?

Back

The x-intercept of a graph is the point where the graph intersects the x-axis.

Front

What is the y-intercept in this graph? (0, 0), (1, 0), It does not have one, (-1, 0)

Back

(0, 0)

Front

How can you find the y-intercept of a linear equation?

Back

Set x to 0 in the equation and solve for y.

Front

How can you find the x-intercept of a linear equation?

Back

Set y to 0 in the equation and solve for x.

Front

What does it indicate if a graph has both x and y intercepts?

Back

The graph crosses both axes, indicating the presence of solutions to the equation.

Front

What is the general form of a linear equation?

Back

y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a graph?

Back

The graph rises from left to right.
