What's the X-Intercept?

Definition: x-intercept

Summary

  1. Draw the axes and label them
  2. We can see the x-intercept on a graph of a line by looking at the point where the graphed line intersects the x-axis
  3. All x-intercepts have an y-coordinate of 0
  4. Anything on the x-axis has a y-coordinate of 0

Notes

    1. We will find the x-intercept for this line
    1. The x-intercept is where the x-axis and our line intersect
    1. This is the definition of the x-intercept
    1. All x-intercepts have y-coordinates that are 0
    1. All x-intercepts have y-coordinates that are 0
    1. We would plug 0 in for y to find the x-intercept
    1. This would give us the x-coordinate of the x-intercept
    1. Anything on the x-axis has a y-coordinate of 0
