Finding x- and y- intercept

Front

What is the definition of an x-intercept?

Back

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

Front

What is the definition of a y-intercept?

Back

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

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.

Front

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 ordered pair for the x-intercept if x = -5?

Back

The ordered pair for the x-intercept is (-5, 0).

Front

What is the ordered pair for the y-intercept if y = 1?

Back

The ordered pair for the y-intercept is (0, 1).

Front

What does the ordered pair (2, 0) represent on a graph?

Back

The ordered pair (2, 0) represents the x-intercept of the graph.

Front

What does the ordered pair (0, -4) represent on a graph?

Back

The ordered pair (0, -4) represents the y-intercept of the graph.

Front

If a linear equation has an x-intercept of -4, what is the corresponding ordered pair?

Back

The corresponding ordered pair is (-4, 0).

Front

If a linear equation has a y-intercept of -1, what is the corresponding ordered pair?

Back

The corresponding ordered pair is (0, -1).
