  4. Larry is taking home economics. As a class project, he is cooking dinner for some friends. Larry plans to spend $15 on beef and/or chicken. If beef costs $5 per pound and chicken costs $3 per pound, the graph at the right shows all the possible combinations of beef and chicken he can buy. If he buys no beef, he can buy 5 pounds of chicken. If he buys no chicken, he can buy 3 pounds of beef. The number 5 on the x-axis and the number 3 on the y-axis are called intercepts. Application

  5. The x coordinate of the point where a line crosses the x-axis is called the x-intercept. More on intercepts • The y coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y-axis is called the y-intercept.

  6. The line with slope m crosses the y-axis at (0, b). You can write an equation for this line using the point-slope form. Let (x1, y1 = (0, b) y – y1 = m(x – x1) y – b = m(x – 0) y = mx + b Consider the graph below

  7. Slope-Intercept Form • Given the y-intercept b and slope m of a line, the slope-intercept form of an equation of the line is y = mx + b

  8. Ex. 1: State the slope and y-intercept of the graph of y = 5x – 3 y = 5x – 3 y = mx + b Since m = 5, the slope is 5. Since b is -3, the y-intercept is -3.

  9. Compare the slope-intercept form of a linear equation with the standard form, Ax + By = C. Solve for y. If the equation is given in standard form, and B is not zero, the slope of the line is The y-intercept is

  10. This is easy given that all the numbers are positive. BE CAREFUL! Negatives can really mess you up here. In the equation 3x + 2y = 12, A = 3; B = 2 and C = 12 Ex. 2: State the slope and y-intercept of the graph of 3x + 2y = 12

  11. Write the equation in slope-intercept form. Ex. 2: State the slope and y-intercept of the graph of 3x + 2y = 12—CHECK YOUR ANSWERS! The slope is -3/2 and the y-intercept is 6. The solution checks.

  12. Recall • Recall that the x-coordinate of the ordered pair for the y-intercept is 0 and the y-coordinate of the ordered pair for the x-intercept is 0. You can use these facts to find the x- and y-intercepts of the graph of a linear equation.

  13. To find the x-intercept, let y = 0. 4x – 5y = 10 4x – 5(0) = 10 4x = 10 x = 10/4 x = 5/2 The x-intercept is 5/2. The graph crosses the x-axis at (5/2, 0). To find the y-intercept, let x = 0. 4x – 5y = 10 4(0) – 5y = 10 -5y = 10 y = 10/-5 y = -2 The y-intercept is -2. The graph crosses the x-axis at (0, -2). Ex. 4: Determine the x- and y-intercepts of the graph of 4x – 5y = 10

  14. The y – intercept of the graph of an equation in the form Ax + By = C is . To find the formula for the x-intercept, let y = 0 The x intercept then is C/A, A ≠ 0. Therefore, for the graph of 2x – 3y = 8, the x-intercept is 8/2 or 4, and the y-intercept is – 8/3 Formula for the x-intercept
