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.

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.

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.
