Lesson 6-5. x and y intercepts. #2-18 ALL. You will have TWO answers for every single problem. First, find the x intercept and then find the y intercept. On the graphs, you just have to write where the line crosses the x-axis and the y-axis for the intercepts. To find x and y intercepts from just the equations of lines (without graphing) do the following:
To find the y-intercept, plug 0 in for x and solve the equation. (Remember, the coordinate point where the line crosses the y axis has 0 as it's x coordinate.)
Then, to find the x-intercept, plug 0 in for y and solve the equation.
Here is an example:
Here is another example when the coefficient of x is a fraction:
