Find x and y intercepts

Front

What is an x-intercept?

Back

The x-intercept is the point where a graph intersects the x-axis, meaning the value of y is zero.

Front

What is a y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where a graph intersects the y-axis, meaning the value of x is zero.

Front

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

Back

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

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

Back

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

Front

What is the general form of a linear equation?

Back

The general form of a linear equation is Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are constants.

Front

What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x, indicating how steep the line is.

Front

True or False: The y-intercept of a function always occurs where y is equal to zero.

Back

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