Identifying x- and y-intercepts.

Front

What are the x-intercepts?

Back

The x-intercepts are the points where a graph crosses the x-axis. At these points, the value of y is 0.

Front

What is the y-intercept?

Back

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

Front

What is the coordinate of the x-intercept if the graph crosses the x-axis at (4, 0)?

Back

The coordinate of the x-intercept is (4, 0).

Front

What is the coordinate of the y-intercept if the graph crosses the y-axis at (0, 3)?

Back

The coordinate of the y-intercept is (0, 3).

Front

How do you find the x-intercept of a linear equation?

Back

To find the x-intercept, set y = 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 = 0 in the equation and solve for y.

Front

What is the significance of the x-intercept in a graph?

Back

The x-intercept indicates the value of x when the output (y) is zero, showing where the function has no height.

Front

What is the significance of the y-intercept in a graph?

Back

The y-intercept indicates the value of y when the input (x) is zero, showing the starting point of the function.

Front

If a graph has an x-intercept of -2, what does this mean?

Back

It means that the graph crosses the x-axis at the point (-2, 0).

Front

If a graph has a y-intercept of 2, what does this mean?

Back

It means that the graph crosses the y-axis at the point (0, 2).
