How can you solve for x intercept and y intercept?

Where a line crosses the y an x axis on a graph.

The y-intercept is the value of the function when 'x' is zero. That is, it's the pointat which the graph of the function intercepts (crosses) the y-axis.The x-intercept is the value of 'x' that makes...

The x- and y-intercepts of a function are the points at which the graph of the function crosses respectively the x- and y-axis (ie. y=0 and x=0).

Is it y=18-2x? If so, when solving x-intercept, y=0 y=18-2x 18-2x=y 18-2x=0 -2x=-18 -2x/-2=-18/-2 x=9 so, x intercept is 9 when solving y-intercept, x=0 y=18-2x 18-2x=y 18-2(0)=y y=-12 so, y...

-- If you know the general shape of a graph, and you can quickly determine the x- and y-intercepts, that's often enough information to make a pretty accurate sketch of the graph. -- In particular, if...
