6. The x-intercept of a graph is the point where the graph crosses the x-axis.
The y-intercept of a graph is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis.

7. y X x - intercept y - intercept (2,0) (0,-1)
Definitions. Instruct student to add to notebook.
y - intercept

8. Vocabulary – BIG CONCEPT
x-intercept - the coordinate of a point where the graph crosses the x-axis. (Important – this is when y = 0)
y-intercept - the coordinate of a point where the graph crosses the y-axis (when x = 0).
y - intercept
x - intercept

12. So when is it a good idea to use x and y intercepts to graph???
When the two coefficients go into the constant!!
2x + 3y = 6
-3x – 4y = 24
12x + 5y = 60
5x – 4y = 40

13. Example 2: Graph the equation 4x + 8y =24 using the x and y-intercepts.
Find the x and y-intercepts.
Plot the x and y-intercepts and draw a line through them connecting them with a straight edge.
4x + 8y =24
x-intercept y-intercept
4x + 8(0) = (0) + 8y = 24
4x = y = 24
(6,0) (0,3)

14. (0,3)
4x + 8y =24

15. Example 3: Identify the x-intercept and y-intercept
of the graph.

y-int: (0,-4)

16. Graph 4x + 3y = 12 using intercepts
Find x-intercept
4x + 3(0) = 12
Find y-intercept

4x = 12
3y = 12
x = 3
y = 4
Teach and demonstrate the concept.

17. Graph 2x + 3y = 12 using intercepts6

x = 12 Solve for x
The intercepts are at the points
(3, 0) and (0,4)
x = 3 Simplify
