The x intercept is when the line crosses the x axis
the place where the line crosses the x axis is also when y=0
the y intercept is when the line crosses the y axis
the place where the line crosses the y axis is also when x=0
so lets say you have the equation in slope-intercept form
which is y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y-intercept
to find the x intercept, set y to zero and solve
to find the y intercept, find b or set x to zero and solve (which cancels out mx and leaves b)
so exg
y=3x+4
x intercept=y=0 so 0=3x+4
subtract 4 from both sides
-4=3x
divide boht sides by 3
-4/3=x intercept
so y intercept
y=3(0)+4
y=0+4
y=4=y intercept
Answer:

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
The term "rise over run" is frequently used when talking about slope. It means the vertical distance over the horizontal distance, so the answer is D, rise.
Answer:
The exact form is 12/5 but the simplified one is 2 2/5
Y = -3x + b
Plug in point
-4 = -3(3) + b
-4 = -9 + b, b = 5
Solution: y = -3x + 5
