x & y intercepts

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.

Front

What is the y-intercept?

Back

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

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

Back

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

What is the x-intercept of the equation 4x - 8y = 16?

Back

The x-intercept is (4,0).

Front

What does the point (0,0) represent in terms of intercepts?

Back

The point (0,0) is the origin and represents both the x-intercept and y-intercept if the line passes through it.

Front

If a line has no x-intercept, what does that imply?

Back

If a line has no x-intercept, it is parallel to the x-axis and does not cross it.
