To identify the x-intercept and y-intercept of a linear function on a graph:
-
X-Intercept: This is the point where the line crosses the x-axis. At this point, the y-value is 0. If a line is slanted and passes through the coordinates where the y-value is 0, that point is the x-intercept.
-
Y-Intercept: This is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. At this point, the x-value is 0. If a line passes through the coordinates where the x-value is 0, that point is the y-intercept.
Based on your description ("the line is slanted at 4 and 6"), it seems you may be referring to some coordinates. Without specific coordinates, assuming the line crosses at (4, 0) and (0, 6):
- Move to the point (4, 0) and label it as the x-intercept.
- Move to the point (0, 6) and label it as the y-intercept.
Feel free to provide more details or clarifications if the coordinates are different!
