Finding the x and y intercepts when given in standard form

This video tutorial explains how to find the X and Y intercepts of an equation. It begins by defining what intercepts are and how they relate to the X and Y axes. The tutorial then provides examples of coordinates and explains how to find intercepts by plugging values into equations. It demonstrates solving these equations to find the intercepts and how to express them in coordinate form. Finally, the video shows how to graph these intercepts on a coordinate plane.

What is the X intercept of a graph?

• Where the graph crosses the X axis

• Where the graph is at its lowest point

• Where the graph crosses the Y axis

• Where the graph is at its highest point

How do you find the Y intercept of an equation?

• Set X to zero and solve for Y

• Set Y to zero and solve for X

• Set both X and Y to zero

• Set X to one and solve for Y

What is the coordinate form of the X intercept if X equals 6?

• (6, 0)

• (0, 6)

• (6, 6)

• (0, 0)

If the Y intercept is -8, what is the coordinate form?

• (0, 8)

• (-8, 0)

• (0, -8)

• (8, 0)

What is the first step in solving for the X intercept?

• Set X to zero in the equation

• Solve for Y

• Set Y to zero in the equation

• Solve for both X and Y
