X-Intercept




To find the x-intercept, plug in and solve for x


Start with the given equation.


Plug in .


Add to both sides.


Divide both sides by to isolate .


Reduce.


So when then


This means that the x-intercept is .


------------------------------------------


Y-Intercept




To find the y-intercept, plug in and solve for y


Start with the given equation.


Plug in .


Multiply and 0 to get 0.


Subtract



So when then




This means that the y-intercept is .



Now graph the x and y intercepts as points in a coordinate system:



Graph of the x-intercept and the y-intercept .



Now draw a line through the two points to graph
