Finding the x and y intercept and then graph

The video tutorial explains how to find the X and Y intercepts of a line given an equation. It starts by defining intercepts and then demonstrates how to calculate the X intercept by setting Y to zero and solving for X. Similarly, it shows how to find the Y intercept by setting X to zero and solving for Y. Finally, the tutorial illustrates how to graph the line by connecting the intercepts.

What is the X intercept of a graph?

• The highest point on the graph

• The lowest point on the graph

• The point where the graph crosses the X axis

• The point where the graph crosses the Y axis

How do you find the X intercept of an equation?

• Solve the equation as it is

• Set both X and Y to zero

• Set Y to zero and solve for X

• Set X to zero and solve for Y

What is the X intercept of the equation 6X = 42?

• (0, -7)

• (-7, 0)

• (7, 0)

• (0, 7)

How do you find the Y intercept of an equation?

• Set both X and Y to zero

• Solve the equation as it is

• Set Y to zero and solve for X

• Set X to zero and solve for Y

What is the Y intercept of the equation -4Y = 42?

• (0, -11.5)

• (-11.5, 0)

• (11.5, 0)

• (0, 11.5)
