ALGEBRA - LESSON 35

Read the text, add notes to your notebook. Remember an ordered pair looks like this: (x,y). it is used to locate a point on a graph. What is a linear equation (think back to previous lessons)?

What is the form of a y-intercept?

• (x,y)

• (y,x)

• (0,y)

• (x,0)

Explain why the y-value of the x-intercept is 0 and the x-value of the y-intercept is 0 (hint: imagine graphing a natural number or non-zero integer for x or y).

try graphing the x-intercept and y-intercept on the graph (hint: remember the x intercept looks like this - (x,0) and the y-intercept looks like this - (0,y). Use the answers in the example).

Here is another example, this time finish solving each linear equation to get your x-intercept and y-intercept, then graph!

This time we have a graph of our x and y-intercepts. Fill in the empty ordered pair below for the y-intercept.

This time we have a graph of our x and y-intercepts. Fill in the empty ordered pair below for the x-intercept.

Type in your answer for just the x-intercept! (this is just the x value in (x,y) - your answer will not be an ordered pair!
