This document provides instructions for finding the x-intercept and y-intercept of a linear function in standard form Ax + By = C. It explains that to find the x-intercept, substitute 0 for y and solve for x, and to find the y-intercept, substitute 0 for x and solve for y. With these intercepts, the linear function can be graphed. Examples of an x-intercept of (3,0) and a y-intercept of (0,-9/5) are also given.

1. Standard Form
Ax + By = C
A, B, and C are whole numbers
A is usually positive.

2. When you have a linear function in
standard form, it is very simple to find the x
and y intercepts of the line. Look at the
next slides to find out how to find x and y
intercepts.

3. To find the x-intercept of a linear equation,
substitute the value of 0 in for y and then
solve for x.

4. To find the y-intercept of a linear equation,
substitute the value of 0 in for x and then
solve for y.

5. With this information, you can quickly
graph the linear function.
(3,0)
(0,-9/5)

6. I hope this helps! Have a great day!
