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.

What is the x-intercept of the ordered pair (9, 0)?

Back

The x-intercept is 9, as it is the x-coordinate when y = 0.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the ordered pair (0, 2)?

Back

The y-intercept is 2, as it is the y-coordinate when x = 0.

What is the x-intercept of the equation 4x + 0y = 12?

Back

The x-intercept is (3, 0).

Front

What does it mean if a line has no x-intercept?

Back

It means the line is parallel to the x-axis and never crosses it.
