Finding y-Intercept from tables

Front

What is the definition of the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where a line crosses the y-axis, represented as (0, y).

Front

How can you find the y-intercept from a table of values?

Back

To find the y-intercept from a table, look for the value of y when x is 0.

Front

What does it mean if the y-intercept is negative?

Back

A negative y-intercept indicates that the line crosses the y-axis below the origin.

Front

What does it mean if the y-intercept is positive?

Back

A positive y-intercept indicates that the line crosses the y-axis above the origin.

Front

If a line has a y-intercept of 6, what does this tell you?

Back

It tells you that the line crosses the y-axis at the point (0, 6).

Front

What is the significance of the y-intercept in a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept represents the initial value of the dependent variable when the independent variable is zero.

Front

How can you determine the y-intercept from a graph?

Back

You can determine the y-intercept by locating the point where the line intersects the y-axis.

Front

What is the general form of a linear equation?

Back

The general form of a linear equation is y = mx + b, where b is the y-intercept.

Front

What is the relationship between the slope and the y-intercept in a linear equation?

Back

The slope (m) indicates the steepness of the line, while the y-intercept (b) indicates where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

Can a line have more than one y-intercept?

Back

No, a line can only have one y-intercept.
