To identify the x-intercept and y-intercept of a linear function graphed on a grid, follow these steps:
-
X-Intercept: Look for the point where the graph crosses the x-axis. This is the point where the value of y is zero (\(y = 0\)). The coordinates of the x-intercept are in the form \((x, 0)\).
-
Y-Intercept: Look for the point where the graph crosses the y-axis. This is the point where the value of x is zero (\(x = 0\)). The coordinates of the y-intercept are in the form \((0, y)\).
Once you locate both points, you can drag them accordingly to label the x-intercept and y-intercept on the graph.
If you have a specific graph in mind, you can describe the coordinates, and I can help you determine which point is which!
