Math 10-Week 8

This week we learned about X and Y intercepts.  You find the X and Y intercepts when looking at a graph. The X intercept can be found by looking for where a linear relation starts on a graph on the X axis.  For example if you move a ruler from the left to right of the graph, the first place you touch (plot, line, or shape) is the first number.  If you hit -3 on the X axis first you would put it as the first number in an ordered pair.  (-3,–)  To find the second X intercept you do the same thing only from right to left.  If you hit 7 first your X coordinate would be (-3,7)

Y intercepts are the same only along the Y axis
