Standard Form (x and y intercepts)

Front

What is the x-intercept of a line?

Back

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

Front

What is the y-intercept of a line?

Back

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

Front

How do you find the x-intercept from an 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 from an equation?

Back

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

Front

What are the x- and y-intercepts of the equation 5x - 3y = 15?

Back

The x-intercept is (3, 0) and the y-intercept is (0, -5).

Front

What does the ordered pair (0, 4) represent?

Back

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

Front

What does the ordered pair (8, 0) represent?

Back

The ordered pair (8, 0) represents the x-intercept of a graph.

Front

What is the standard form of a linear equation?

Back

The standard form of a linear equation is Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are integers.

Front

What is the significance of intercepts in a graph?

Back

Intercepts help to identify where the line crosses the axes, providing key points for graphing.

Front

If a line has an x-intercept of -1, what does this indicate?

Back

It indicates that the line crosses the x-axis at the point (-1, 0).
