Chapter 12-3 Using slopes and intercepts
Key Terms to Know: Intercepts • X-intercept: the value where the line crosses the x-axis (where y= 0) • Y-intercept: the value where the line crosses the y-axis (where x= 0)
Key Terms to Know: Forms of a Line • Standard Form: Ax+ By = C, where A, B and C are real numbers • Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b, where m is slope and b is the y-intercept
Finding the x-intercepts and y-intercepts to graph the line 3x + 4y = 12 • To find the x- intercept (where y= 0) Plug in 0 for y, and solve for x • To find the y-intercept (where x = 0) Plug in 0 for x, and solve for y
Finding the x-intercepts and y-intercepts to graph the line -5x + 2y = 10 • To find the x- intercept (where y= 0) Plug in 0 for y, and solve for x • To find the y-intercept (where x = 0) Plug in 0 for x, and solve for y
