What are the x and y intercepts of a graph?

Back

The x-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the x-axis (y=0), and the y-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis (x=0).

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 slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

Back

Front

What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x; it indicates how steep the line is.

Front

What is the significance of the y-intercept in a graph?

Back

The y-intercept indicates the value of y when x is zero; it is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

What is the relationship between parallel lines in terms of slope?

Back

Parallel lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts.
