Finding the x and y intercept from a linear equation 5 - y = -3x

The video tutorial explains how to find the X and Y intercepts of a graph. It begins with an introduction to intercepts and number lines, followed by detailed steps to find the Y intercept by setting X to zero and the X intercept by setting Y to zero. The tutorial also covers solving equations to isolate variables and writing intercepts as coordinate points.

What is the first step to find the X intercept of an equation?

• Solve for Y first

• Set both X and Y to zero

• Set X to zero and solve for Y

• Set Y to zero and solve for X

In a graph, what does the X axis represent?

• Vertical movement

• Horizontal movement

• Diagonal movement

• Circular movement

When finding the Y intercept, what value is X set to?

• 1

• 0

• -1

• Any positive number

What is the Y intercept of the equation if Y = 5?

• (0, -5)

• (-5, 0)

• (5, 0)

• (0, 5)

How is the X intercept expressed in point form if X = -5/3?

• (-5/3, 0)

• (0, -5/3)

• (5/3, 0)

• (0, 5/3)
