To find the y-intercept from a table, find the y-value of where x = *blank 1* crosses the *blank 2* output pair where x = 0. This is where the graph intersects or If the y-intercept is not in a table, extend the pattern so that the table now includes an input-output where x = 0

Options for blank 1

A 0
B 1
C x
D y

Options for blank 2

A x-axis
B origin
C y-axis

To complete the sentences correctly, we should fill in the blanks with the appropriate terms related to identifying the y-intercept on a graph.

  1. For blank 1, we are looking for a value that represents the input we're discussing, which is specifically "0" because we're interested in the point where \( x = 0 \). Thus, the correct choice is A 0.

  2. For blank 2, since the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects the vertical axis, the correct term is "y-axis." Therefore, the correct choice is C y-axis.

Putting it all together, the completed statement is:

"To find the y-intercept from a table, find the y-value of where x = 0 crosses the y-axis output pair where x = 0. This is where the graph intersects or if the y-intercept is not in a table, extend the pattern so that the table now includes an input-output where x = 0."
