Question

How do you find the x and y intercepts on a graph i forgot how to.. :/

Answer 1

set the x=0 for y intersept and the y=0 for x intercepts

Answer 2

You use the slope-intercept form;
\[y=mx+b\]
where m represents the slope, b represents the y-intercept and the y and x represent coords.

When you want to know the y-intercept you put x = 0
\[y=m(0)+b\]
when you want to know the x-intercept you put y = 0
\[0 = mx+b\]
and then solve for x, if you want the x-intercept, and solve for y when you want the y-intercept. Do you have an equation that I could use to help show you?

When finding the x and y intercepts on a graph you just look at where the line cross the y axis and where the line crosses the x axis.

Answer 3

so yours will have an x intercept at -2 and a y intercept at 2

Answer 4

so that would be the answer?

Answer 5

i believe so

Answer 6

Thank You (:

Answer 7

just remember that the "y intercept" is "how high" the line crosses the y axis. to find this point you need to set x to 0. the same is true for the x intercept
