X and Y Intercepts Practice

Front

What is the x-intercept?

Back

The x-intercept is the point where a graph crosses the x-axis. At this point, the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What is the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where a graph crosses the y-axis. At this point, the x-coordinate is zero.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

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.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a graph?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as x increases, y also increases, resulting in an upward trend.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a graph?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases, resulting in a downward trend.

Front

What does a zero slope indicate about a graph?

Back

A zero slope indicates a horizontal line where y remains constant as x changes.

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate about a graph?

Back

An undefined slope indicates a vertical line where x remains constant as y changes.

Front

What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the coordinates (0, b) in a linear equation?

Back

The coordinates (0, b) represent the y-intercept of the graph.
