Question

Find the x and y intercept of the graph of each equation: y = 4x - 2

Answer 1

x -intercept

let y = 0 then solve for x

y -intercept

let x = 0 then solve for y

does that help?

Answer 2

? show me

Answer 3

y = 4x - 2

to get x-intercept let y = 0

0 = 4x - 2

now solve for x

Answer 4

I am a visual learner, I need to see it

Answer 5

fine...let me do a different example

Answer 6

thanks

Answer 7

y = 3x + 6

to find the x-intercept..let y = 0

0 = 3x + 6

subtract 6 from both sides

-6 = 3x

divide both sides by 3

-2 = x

so x -intercept = (-2,0)

to find the y-intercept let x = 0

y = 3(0) + 6

simplify...

y = 6

so the y-intercept is (0,6)

got it now?

Answer 8

to find y intercept for the problem would be (2, -2)

Answer 9

what do you mean (2,-2)?

Answer 10

what would the y intercept me

Answer 11

be

Answer 12

let x = 0

y = 4(0) - 2

simplify that..what do you get?

Answer 13

would it be (0,-2)

Answer 14

yes!!

Answer 15

okay!!!!
