INT HW Finding x and y-intercepts

Front

What is the definition of the y-intercept?

Back

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

Front

What is the definition of the x-intercept?

Back

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

Front

How do you find the y-intercept of an equation?

Back

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

Front

How do you find the x-intercept of an equation?

Back

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

Front

True or False: The y-intercept of a function ALWAYS occurs where y is equal to zero.

Back

False
