1. What is the x-intercept?
5-5 Standard Form
What is the x-intercept?
The x-coordinate of a point where a graph crosses the x-axis. (x, 0)
What is Standard Form of a Linear Equation?
The standard form of a linear equation is:
Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are integers, and A and B are not both zero.

2. How do I find the x-intercept?
5-5 Standard Form
How do I find the x-intercept?
Step 1: To find the x-intercept, substitute 0 for y.
Step 2: Solve for x.
How do I find the y-intercept?
Step 1: To find the y-intercept, substitute 0 for x.
Step 2: Solve for y.

3. How do I use intercepts to graph a line?
5-5 Standard Form
How do I use intercepts to graph a line?
Step 1: Find the x-intercept and the y-intercept.
Step 2: Plot the x- and y-intercepts.
Step 3: Draw a line through the two points.

4. What are the properties of Standard Form?
If A = 0, then the equation can be written in the form y = b, where b is a constant. The graph is a horizontal line.
If B = 0, then the equation can be written in the form x = a, where a is a constant. The graph is a vertical line.
