The x-intercept is where a line crosses the x-axis, and the y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. Thinking about intercepts helps us graph linear equations.

Now what are its' x and y-intercepts? Well, we already kind of figured it out but the intercepts themselves, these are the points on the graph where they intersect the axes.

Let's graph -5x + 4y = 20 from its intercepts. Intercepts are the places where a line crosses the x- and y-axes. When a line crosses the x-axis, the y value is 0. That's the x-intercept. When a line crosses the …

Sal determines the x-intercept of a linear equation from a graph. Afterwards, he checks his work by plugging values back into the equation.

Learn about the slope-intercept form of two-variable linear equations, and how to interpret it to find the slope and y-intercept of their line.

Explore x and y-intercepts in linear equations through interactive lessons and videos on Khan Academy.

Let's find the x- and y-intercepts of the equation 2y + 1/3x = 12, where a line crosses the x-axis (the x-intercept) and the y-axis (the y-intercept) on a graph.

In an equation in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) the slope is m and the y-intercept is b. We can also rewrite certain equations to look more like slope-intercept form. For example, y=x can be rewritten as …
