✏️CLASSWORK X and Y Intercepts Practice

Front

What is the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where a line crosses the y-axis. It is represented as (0, y).

Front

How do you find the y-intercept from a graph?

Back

To find the y-intercept, look for the point where the line intersects the y-axis.

Front

What is the x-intercept?

Back

The x-intercept is the point where a line crosses the x-axis. It is represented as (x, 0).

How do you find the x-intercept from a graph?

Back

To find the x-intercept, look for the point where the line intersects the x-axis.

Front

What are intercepts in a graph?

Back

Intercepts are points where a graph crosses the axes; specifically, the x-intercept and y-intercept.

Front

If a line has a y-intercept of (0, 3), what does this mean?

Back

It means that the line crosses the y-axis at the point (0, 3).

Front

If a line has an x-intercept of (4, 0), what does this mean?

Back

It means that the line crosses the x-axis at the point (4, 0).

Front

What is the significance of the intercepts in a linear equation?

Back

Intercepts help to graph the equation and understand its behavior in relation to the axes.

Front

How can you determine the intercepts from a linear equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b)?

Back

The y-intercept is 'b' and the x-intercept can be found by setting y to 0 and solving for x.

Front

What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

Back

The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
