Find x and y intercepts

Front

What is the x-intercept of a linear equation?

Back

The x-intercept is the point where the graph of the equation crosses the x-axis, meaning the value of y is 0.

What is the y-intercept of a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the graph of the equation crosses the y-axis, meaning the value of x is 0.

How do you find the x-intercept of the equation 4x - 10y = 20?

Back

Set y = 0 and solve for x: 4x = 20, so x = 5. The x-intercept is (5, 0).

Front

How do you find the y-intercept of the equation 4x - 10y = 20?

Back

Set x = 0 and solve for y: -10y = 20, so y = -2. The y-intercept is (0, -2).

Front

What is the x-intercept of the equation 3x + 8y = 24?

Back

Set y = 0: 3x = 24, so x = 8. The x-intercept is (8, 0).

Front

What is the y-intercept of the equation 3x + y = 5?

Back

Set x = 0: y = 5. The y-intercept is (0, 5).

Front

How do you find the y-intercept of the equation -x + 5y = 45?

Back

Set x = 0: 5y = 45, so y = 9. The y-intercept is (0, 9).

Front

What is the y-intercept of the equation 4x + 2y = -12?

Back

Set x = 0: 2y = -12, so y = -6. The y-intercept is (0, -6).

Front

What does it mean if a linear equation has no x-intercept?

Back

It means the line is parallel to the x-axis and never crosses it, indicating that the equation has no solution for x.
