A linear function is graphed on the grid. Drag the two points to label the x-intercept and the y-intercept.

Unfortunately, that is incorrect.👎 Remember that the x-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the x-axis, and the y-intercept is where the graph crosses the y-axis.

To identify the x-intercept and y-intercept of a linear function graphed on a grid, follow these steps:

  1. 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 \((x, 0)\).

  2. 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!
