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)
