help please

mathstudent55 · Answer

The intercepts are the points where the line crosses the x-axis and the y-axis.

littlebird · Answer

You can find the x intercept by plugging in 0 for y and solving for x

mathstudent55 · Answer

Every point on the x-axis has coordinates (x, 0). Notice the value of y is zero.
Every point on the y-axis has coordinates (0, y). Notice the value of x is zero.

I think i worded myself wrong, listen to the mathstudent

mathstudent55 · Answer

To find the x-intercept, let y = 0 and solve for x.
To find the y-intercept, let x = 0 and solve for y.

im online school wednsday is my last day i need to pass 71 is not passing

mathstudent55 · Answer

Copy the equation you were given.
Replace x with 0.
Then solve for y.
Can you try that?
