Lesson Finding x-intercepts and y-intercepts

Finding x-intercepts and y-intercepts

Problem 1

1)  To find y-intercept, you simply put  x= 0 in the equation.

    Then you get  -7y = 14,  so  y= -2.

    You may say that y= -2 is y-intercept,

    or more accurately, that the point (0,-2) is y-intercept.



2)  To find x-intercept, you simply put  y= 0 in the equation.

    Then you get  x = 14.

    You may say that x= 14 is x-intercept,

    or more accurately, that the point (14,0) is x-intercept.

Problem 2

To find t-intercept, take v=0 in the equation and find t

    t =  =  = .



To find v-intercept, take t=0 in the equation and find v

    v =  = 25000.
