X and Y intercepts

Front

What is the x-intercept?

Back

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

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

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.

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

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

Back

(9,0)

Front

Given the ordered pairs (0,3), (1,5), (2,7), what is the y-intercept?

Back

(0,3)

Front

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

Back

If a graph has no x-intercept, it means that the graph does not cross the x-axis, indicating that the function does not have any real roots.

Front

What does it mean if a graph has no y-intercept?

Back

If a graph has no y-intercept, it means that the graph does not cross the y-axis, which can occur in vertical lines or certain functions.

How can you determine the x-intercept from a linear equation?

Back

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

How can you determine the y-intercept from a linear equation?

Back

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