5.2 Using Intercepts Pg. 303
Objective Find x- and y- intercepts and interpret their meanings in real world situations Vocabulary x – Intercept Where graph crosses the x-axis y – Intercept Where graph crosses the y-axis
What does it mean to INTERCEPT a pass in football? The path of the defender crosses the path of the thrown football. In algebra, what are x- and y-intercepts?
What are the x- and y-intercepts? The x-intercept is where the graph crosses the x-axis. The y-coordinate is always 0. The y-intercept is where the graph crosses the y-axis. The x-coordinate is always 0.
Find the x- and y-intercepts x-intercept: Plug in 0 for y y-intercept: Plug in 0 for x
Find the x- and y-intercepts x-intercept: Plug in 0 for y y-intercept: Plug in 0 for x
Find the x- and y-intercepts x-intercept: Plug in 0 for y y-intercept: Plug in 0 for x
Find the x- and y-Intercepts. Special Cases Find the x- and y-Intercepts ***Special Cases*** (x = constant, or y = constant)
