For a line represented by the equation y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, the x-intercept can be found by setting y to zero and solving for x.

The x-intercept is where a line crosses the x-axis, and the y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. Thinking about intercepts helps us graph linear equations.

If the linear equation has two variables (X and Y), then it will have both an x-intercept and a y-intercept. They can turn out to be one point if the line happens to go thru the origin (0,0).

Let's graph -5x + 4y = 20 from its intercepts. Intercepts are the places where a line crosses the x- and y-axes. When a line crosses the x-axis, the y value is 0. That's the x-intercept. When a …

Learn about the slope-intercept form of two-variable linear equations, and how to interpret it to find the slope and y-intercept of their line.

Then the formula will help you find the roots of a quadratic equation, i.e. the values of x where this equation is solved.

Slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) of linear equations highlights the slope (m) and the y-intercept (b) of a line. Watch this video to learn more about it and see some examples.

Let's explore different ways to find and visualize slopes and intercepts, and how these concepts can help us solve real-world problems. **Unit guides are here!**

I encourage you to pause this video, and figure out what are the x and y-intercepts for the graph that represents the solutions, all the xy pairs that satisfy this equation.
