Question

how do you find intercepts from standard form?

Answer 1

You could change it into slope intercept, or you could use the equation -b/a

Answer 2

no,but there's like a legit, lke, thing u can do, and i forget it. poop on a flea

Answer 3

like*

Answer 4

Actually, it's -a/b

Answer 5

For Ax+By=C, the intercept is found by -A/B

Answer 6

no, thats slope

Answer 7

Oh im sorry, I don't know why I wrote that....

Answer 8

lolz, i forgive you

Answer 9

x-int is C/-A

Answer 10

according to who..?

Answer 11

According to me.

Answer 12

mmk

Answer 13

Oops. y-int is C/-B

Answer 14

I keep forgetting the negative sign....

Answer 15

-_-

Answer 16

then wat's -1/1?

Answer 17

FINAL ANSWER: X-Int: -C/A
Y-int: -C/B

Answer 18

*sigh*

Answer 19

to find y intercept set x=0 and solve for y
vice versa for x intercept

Answer 20

If A is nonzero, then the x-intercept, that is, the x-coordinate of the point where the graph crosses the x-axis (where, y is zero), is −C/A. If B is nonzero, then the y-intercept, that is the y-coordinate of the point where the graph crosses the y-axis (where x is zero), is −C/B, and the slope of the line is −A/B.

Answer 21

thank you phi.
chess machine, thats the legit thing i was talking about

Answer 22

You said in standard form.

Answer 23

You wouldn't have to set anything in standard form, the answer is right there....

Answer 24

yeah. thats using standard form
Ax+By=C

Answer 25

Yes, but the intercepts are literally given to you in the equation. If it was like f(x)= 3x^3 +12x^2+3x+7, then you would have to set it equal to zero. In standard form, the equation tells you the intercepts without that, you can just look at the coefficients.

Answer 26

uhm, i have no idea wat u just said. sorry.
