The x -intercept of a line is the point ( a ,0) where the line intersects the x -axis.

x and y Intercepts. The x -intercept of a line is the point ( a ,0) where the line intersects the x -axis. ( a ,0). The y -intercept of a line is the point (0, b ) where the line intersects the y-axis. ( a ,0). (0 ,b ). Consider some points on the x -axis.

  1. x and y Intercepts The x-intercept of a line is the point (a,0) where the line intersects the x-axis. (a,0)

  2. The y-intercept of a line is the point (0,b) where the line intersects the y-axis. (a,0) (0,b)

  3. Consider some points on the x-axis Notice that every point has a y-value of zero To find the x-intercepts: 1) set y = 0 2) solve for x (5,0) (-4,0) 3) write the ordered pair (x,0) (-1,0)

  4. Consider some points on the y-axis Notice that every point has a x-value of zero To find the y-intercepts: (0,4) 1) set x = 0 2) solve for y (0,0) 3) write the ordered pair (0,y) (0,-3)

  5. Example 1:Find the x and y intercepts for the graph of: To find the x-intercepts: 1) set y = 0 2) solve for x 3) write the ordered pair (x,0)

  6. To find the y-intercepts: 1) set x = 0 2) solve for y 3) write the ordered pair (0,y)

  7. Example 2:Find the x and y intercepts for the graph of: To find the x-intercepts: 1) set y = 0 2) solve for x 3) write the ordered pair (x,0)

  8. To find the y-intercepts: 1) set x = 0 2) solve for y 3) write the ordered pair (0,y)
