How To Write X Intercept
Write an equation for the line with x intercept 4 and y intercept 3.
How to write x intercept. The x intercepts are points where the graph of a function or an equation crosses or touches the x axis of the cartesian plane. A coordinate is x y. In a point notation it is written as left x 0 right. For example lets find the intercepts of the equation latex y 3x 1 latex. You can put this solution on your website.
To determine the x intercept we set y equal to zero and solve for x. X intercept is the value of x when y 0 make y 0 and the equation becomes 2x 20 solve for x to get x 10 the ordered pairs from this would be. Likewise 0 goes into the x slot and the y intercept is in the y place. So the x intercept steps would look like this. Notice that your finger touches the x axis at 3 0 and 4 0.
The point where the line touches the y axis is called the y intercept. At this point the x coordinate is zero. To find the x intercept set latex y 0 latex. We have an x intercept and a y intercept. The x intercept formula of a line ax by c is large x frac c a the x intercept formula of a line in the slope intercept form y mx c is large x frac c m where m is the slope of the line.
Therefore the x intercepts are 3 0 and 4 0. So the x intercept is 7 3 0. Write the ordered pair for the x intercept. The answer should be an ordered pair. Note that the x intercepts are not merely 3 and 4.
C is the intercept of the line. A parabola with two x intercepts. Since the x intercept is 4 and the y intercept is 3 this means that the line goes through the points 4 0 and 0 3. Use your finger to trace the green parabola in the image in the next section. Similarly to determine the y intercept we set x equal to zero and solve for y.
