1) The document provides examples of finding the slope and y-intercept of linear equations and using intercepts to graph lines. It also includes word problems that can be represented by systems of linear equations. 2) Interpreting intercepts is discussed. The x-intercept represents the point where the line crosses the x-axis, and the y-intercept is where it crosses the y-axis. 3) Graphs are helpful for interpreting real-world situations represented by linear equations and systems of equations. The intercepts can show the breakpoint values where variables are equal to zero.
