x and y intercepts

Front

What is the x-intercept?

Back

The x-intercept is the point where a line crosses the x-axis. At this point, the value of y is 0.

Front

How do you find the x-intercept from an ordered pair?

Back

To find the x-intercept from an ordered pair (x, y), look for the pair where y = 0.

Front

Given the ordered pairs (8,10), (3,-4), (0,8), (4,-3), (9,0), what is the x-intercept?

Back

(9,0)

Front

What is the x-intercept of the line represented by the equation y = 2x + 2?

Back

x = -1 (set y = 0 and solve for x).

Front

Identify the x-intercept of the graph of the equation y = -3x + 6.

Back

x = 2 (set y = 0 and solve for x).

Front

What is the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where a line crosses the y-axis. At this point, the value of x is 0.

Front

How do you find the y-intercept from an ordered pair?

Back

To find the y-intercept from an ordered pair (x, y), look for the pair where x = 0.

Front

What is the x-intercept of the line represented by the equation y = 4x - 12?

Back

x = 3 (set y = 0 and solve for x).

Front

Identify the graph with an x-intercept of -2 and y-intercept of 2.

Back

Graph will intersect the x-axis at (-2, 0) and the y-axis at (0, 2).

Front

What is the x-intercept for the graph of the equation y = x^2 - 4?

Back

x = -2 and x = 2 (set y = 0 and solve for x).
