X- and Y- Intercepts Practice

Front

What is the x-intercept?

Back

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

Front

Identify the x-intercept from the point (6,0).

Back

The x-intercept is (6,0) because the y-coordinate is 0.

Front

Identify the y-intercept from the point (0,7).

Back

The y-intercept is (0,7) because the x-coordinate is 0.

Front

What does the point (0, 32) represent in a graph?

Back

The point (0, 32) represents the y-intercept of the line.

Front

What does the point (3, 0) represent in a graph?

Back

The point (3, 0) represents the x-intercept of the line.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the x-intercept in a real-world context?

Back

The x-intercept can represent a point where a quantity reaches zero, such as time or cost.

Front

What is the significance of the y-intercept in a real-world context?

Back

The y-intercept can represent the initial value of a quantity before any changes occur.
