Intercepts
HOW TO FIND THEM USING EQUATIONS AND GRAPHS
An intercept is where a graph crosses an
axis.
An x-intercept is where a
graph crosses the x-axis.
A y-intercept is where a
graph crosses the y-axis.
Properties of Intercepts
An x-intercept is always of the form (x, 0), because
the y-coordinate must be 0 for the point to sit on the
x-axis.
A y-intercept is always of the form (0, y), because the
x-coordinate must be 0 for the point to sit on the y-
axis.
To find intercepts from an equation:
To find the x-intercept of an equation, set y = 0
and solve for x.
For example, let’s find the x-intercept of the
graph of 3x – 2y = 12.
-Plug in 0 for y: 3x – 2(0) = 12
-Solve for x: 3x – 0 = 12
3x = 12
x = 4
The x-intercept is located at (4, 0).
To find the y-intercept of an equation, set x = 0
and solve for y.
For example, let’s find the y-intercept of the
graph of 3x – 2y = 12.
-Plug in 0 for x: 3(0) – 2y = 12
-Solve for x: 0 – 2y = 12
-2y = 12
y = -6
The y-intercept is located at (0, -6).
You should be able to verify your intercepts by
looking at the graph of an equation.
Let’s solve for y in the previous example so we
can graph the equation using our graphing
calculator:
3𝑥 − 2𝑦 = 12
−2𝑦 = −3𝑥 + 12
𝑦 =
3
2
𝑥 − 6
(0, -6)
(4, 0)
Find the intercepts of 4y = 2x – 6.
Let’s find the x-intercept first by plugging in 0
for y:
4(0) = 2x – 6
0 = 2x – 6
6 = 2x
3 = x
The x-intercept is (3, 0).
Let’s find the y-intercept next by plugging in 0
for x:
4y = 2(0) – 6
4y = 0 – 6
4y = -6
y = -1.5
The y-intercept is (0, -1.5)

Intercepts

  • 1. Intercepts HOW TO FIND THEM USING EQUATIONS AND GRAPHS
  • 2. An intercept is where a graph crosses an axis. An x-intercept is where a graph crosses the x-axis. A y-intercept is where a graph crosses the y-axis.
  • 3. Properties of Intercepts An x-intercept is always of the form (x, 0), because the y-coordinate must be 0 for the point to sit on the x-axis. A y-intercept is always of the form (0, y), because the x-coordinate must be 0 for the point to sit on the y- axis.
  • 4. To find intercepts from an equation: To find the x-intercept of an equation, set y = 0 and solve for x. For example, let’s find the x-intercept of the graph of 3x – 2y = 12. -Plug in 0 for y: 3x – 2(0) = 12 -Solve for x: 3x – 0 = 12 3x = 12 x = 4 The x-intercept is located at (4, 0). To find the y-intercept of an equation, set x = 0 and solve for y. For example, let’s find the y-intercept of the graph of 3x – 2y = 12. -Plug in 0 for x: 3(0) – 2y = 12 -Solve for x: 0 – 2y = 12 -2y = 12 y = -6 The y-intercept is located at (0, -6).
  • 5. You should be able to verify your intercepts by looking at the graph of an equation. Let’s solve for y in the previous example so we can graph the equation using our graphing calculator: 3𝑥 − 2𝑦 = 12 −2𝑦 = −3𝑥 + 12 𝑦 = 3 2 𝑥 − 6 (0, -6) (4, 0)
  • 6. Find the intercepts of 4y = 2x – 6. Let’s find the x-intercept first by plugging in 0 for y: 4(0) = 2x – 6 0 = 2x – 6 6 = 2x 3 = x The x-intercept is (3, 0). Let’s find the y-intercept next by plugging in 0 for x: 4y = 2(0) – 6 4y = 0 – 6 4y = -6 y = -1.5 The y-intercept is (0, -1.5)
