Intermediate Algebra: Finding Intercepts

What is the equation of the line discussed in this lesson?

• y = 2x + 3

• y = -2x + 3

• y = 3x - 2

• y = -3x + 2

To find the x-intercept of a line, what value should y be set to?

• 0

• x

• 1

• 3

What is the x-intercept of the line y = -2x + 3?

• (3, 0)

• (6, 0)

• (0, 3)

• (0, 6)

When solving for the x-intercept, what operation is performed after setting y to zero?

• Multiply by 2

• Divide by 2

• Subtract 3 from both sides

• Add 3 to both sides

To find the y-intercept of a line, what value should x be set to?

• 1

• y

• 3

• 0

What is the y-intercept of the line y = -2x + 3?

• (0, 3)

• (6, 0)

• (3, 0)

• (0, 6)

What is the ordered pair representation of the x-intercept?

• (3, 0)

• (0, 6)

• (0, 3)

• (6, 0)

What is the ordered pair representation of the y-intercept?

• (0, 6)

• (3, 0)

• (6, 0)

• (0, 3)

On which axis is the x-intercept located?

• None

• Y-axis

• Z-axis

• X-axis

What is the final step in sketching the line after plotting the intercepts?

• Add more points

• Draw a circle

• Erase the intercepts

• Connect the intercepts
