An x-intercept is the point where the function passes the x axis at y=0. The y-intercept is the point where the function crosses the y axis at x=0
1. It is an x-intercept, so y = 0. The ordered pair would be (-6, 0) 2. It is a y-intercept, so x = 0. The ordered pair would be (0, -2.3) 3. It is a y-intercept, so x=0. The ordered pair would be (0, 3/4)
To find the x-intercept, set y = 0. To find the y-intercept, set x=0
4. y-intercept: y = 3(0) -9. y = -9 The y-intercept is at (0, -9) x-intercept: 0 = 3x -9. 9 = 3x. x = 3. The x-intercept is at (3, 0)
5. x intercept: 0 = 5x +10. -10 = 5x. x = -2. The x-intercept is at (-2, 0) y-intercept: y = 5(0) + 10. y = 10. The y-intercept is at (0, 10)
If you look at finding the y-intercepts in the two problems above, you may see there is a pattern forming. The y-intercept is the number that your adding or subtracting that is located after the x (ex. y = 4x - 2 - the y-intercept would be -2)
9. First, find the x and y-intercepts. The y intercept is -3 You’d graph that at (0, -3). 0 = -1/2x - 3. -1/2x = 3. x = -6 so the x-intercept is at (-6, 0). If you only need to graph 2 points, then you can graph just those two points and draw a line between them.
To graph y=-1/2x + 3, start at the y-intercept and use the slope (-1/2) to find other points. Because your slope is -1/2, you’d go down 1 unit and then to the right 2 units. That would be your next point. If you wanted your line to go further up, go up one unit and then to the left 2 units. That would be your next point.
I am not sure what you need to do on 11 and 12
I think you should try 7, 8 and 10 on your own and let me know if you have any questions on them or if you are stuck on anything.
GCF is just the biggest number each value can be divided by. Here, it's 20, so that goes outside of the parenthesis. Now, what can you multiply by 20 to get 80? 4, so that goes in the second box. What can you multiply by 20 to get 100? 5, so that goes in the last box. You can check your answer by doing 80 + 100 = 180; 20(9) = 180.
