An x-intercept is the point where a function intersects the x-axis on a Cartesian coordinate plane. For example, if the graph of a parabola is plotted and the graph intersects the x-axis on the coordinate plane, the point(s) where the graph intersects the x-axis are the x-intercepts for that function.

What is the importance of the x-intercept?

What is the difference between the x- intercept and the y- intercept?
The y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis, and the x-intercept is where the line cross the x-axis
How do you get a parabola with only one x intercept?
When the vertex lies on the x-axis. For example x = y2, the vertex is at the origin, and the parabola is lying on its side.
What is the x intercept of vertex (7-12) and y intercept (0135)?
The question cannot be answered without information about the nature of the curve, for example, what degree polynomial (if it is a polynomial).
What statement is true about a graph of an inversely proportional relationship there is no x intercept and no y intercept there is only a x intercept there is only a y intercept or there is both x an?
The graph doesn't intersect either axis.
Can a function only have one x - intercept and one y - intercept?
Yes. A straight line for example, such as y = x.
What is an example for xy intercept?
the example is a graph with an x and y axis

Can the x intercept of a graph be a mixed number?
yes For example if y = 3x - 1 and 3/4 x intercept is 1 and 3/4, a mixed number
Is the point symmetrical to the y-intercept the same thing as the x-intercept?
No, it is not. The y-intercept is the point where a function is evaluated as x=0. The point symmetrical to that is the one the same distance from the origin along the y-axis. For example, in the function y = 3x + 2, the y=intercept is (0,2) and the point symmetrical to that is (0,-2) Also, the x-intercept is when y=0 (solving for x) ■
Is it possible for a line to not have a y intercept?
Yes, but only of the line is vertical. (It would then be written as x = a, where a is a constant. For example, the line x = 8 does not have a y-intercept. All lines in the form y = mx+b will have a y-intercept.)
What is the slope and y intercept formula?
The slope intercept formula is y=mx + b in which m is the coefficent by x, x is the slope, and b is the y-intercept which is why it is called y-intercpet or slope-intercept. An example: y=3x + 7. Here your slope is three and y-intercept 7.
Does a parabola have to have an x-intercept?
No, a parabola does not have to have an x-intercept. ex. -2(x-2)^2 - 4 is a parabola that has no x-intercept.
What if a graph has no x- or y-intercept Will what you say about the line always be true in that situation?
It could be a line segment within a quadrant that does not have an x or y intercept Or a graph with a restricted domain, for example, y = 1/x where x>0
What is the x-intercept and the y-intercept of 4x-6y equals 12?
X-intercept=3 y-intercept=-2
What is the slope and y-intercept and x-intercept of y equals -x plus 1?
Slope is -1 y-intercept is 1 x-intercept is 1
What is the difference between the x- intercept and the y- intercept?
The y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis, and the x-intercept is where the line cross the x-axis
