DESCRIPTION
X and Y Intercepts. Intercept. In a function, an intercept is the point at which the graph of the line crosses an axis. If it crosses the y-axis it is called the Y INTERCEPT and has the point (0,Y) If it crosses the x- axis it is called the X INTERCEPT and has the point (X, 0). - PowerPoint PPT Presentation
TRANSCRIPT
X AND Y INTERCEPTS
INTERCEPT
In a function, an intercept is the point at which the graph of the line crosses an axis.
If it crosses the y-axis it is called the Y INTERCEPT and has the point (0,Y)
If it crosses the x-axis it is called the X INTERCEPT and has the point (X, 0)
FINDING INTERCEPTS ON GRAPH
FROM AN EQUATION
EXAMPLE 3
EXAMPLE 4
SUMMARY
You should be able to find X and Y intercepts from: Graph Table Equation
You should know what the intercepts represent in a problem situation
