Question 163185: What are the x-intercept and y-intercept of a linear equation? What are their coordinates on a graph? How can they be used to graph a line?

The x intercept=(x,0)
The y intercept=(0,y)
Assume the x intercept=(5,0)
Assume the y intercept=(0,-3)
Now plot these two points & draw a line through them thus you have:
(graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 7, y from -6 to 10, 3x/5 -3).
