All rights reserved Definitions Any point where a graph intersects the x-axis has the form (a, 0). The number a is called an x-intercept of the graph. y = 0 Similarly, any point where a graph intersects the y-axis has the form (0, b), and the number b is called a y-intercept of the graph. x = 0
Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall. PROCEDURE FOR FINDING THE INTERCEPTS OF A GRAPH Step 1To find the x-intercepts of an equation, set y = 0 in the equation and solve for x. Step 2To find the y-intercepts of an equation, set x = 0 in the equation and solve for y. 14 © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved
