Graphing Lines Using the Intercepts

What's the definition of y-intercept?

• Where the graph crosses the x axis

• where the graph crosses the y axis

Generally, how do you solve for the y-intercept?

• Set x=0, then solve

• Set y=0, then solve

At the x intercept the value of y is _______.

• 1

• 0

• x

• y

At the y intercept the value of x is _______________

• x

• y

• 1

• 0

The point where the line crosses the x-axis is called the:

• origin

• x-intercept

• y-intercept

• slope

The point where the line crosses the y-axis is called the:

• origin

• x-intercept

• y-intercept

• slope
