To solve for intercepts on a straight line graph put the equation in the form
y=mx+c where c is the y-intercept and you have the y intercept. Now to solve x-intercept set y=0
eg y=2x+5
0=2x+5
2x=-5
x=-2.5
For intercepts on other forms of graphs eg parabola
y-intercept= make x equal to 0 and solve
x-intercept= make y equal to 0 and solve

What is the xintercept for this linear equation 6x - y equals 9?
-3
What is the slope and yintercept of y plus 4x plus 3?
There is no slope nor intercept because there is no equation, simply an expression.
What is the xintercept of y2x 5?
As written this is not a graphable thing. I does not represent a graphable equation because there is no "=" sign. Whatever the equation might be, the x intercept is found by setting y=0, which leaves you with an equation for x, which is the intercept.
How do you find a linear equation using x and y coordinants?
The point-slope form of a line is y - y1 = m (x - x1)If the coordinates you are given are something like (3,5) and (9,10), find the slope "m" by taking the difference in y over the difference in x, so (10-5)/(9-3) = 5/6Next, just plug in the values for one of the pointsy - y1 = m (x - x1)y - 5 = (5/6) (x - 3)y - 5 = 5/6x - 5/2y = 5/6x + 5/2
How do you find the slope and y-intercept of an equation?
first of all, i dont see how slope and yintercept has anything to do with shopping. usually in an equation, y= mx+b, m stands for slope, and b is the y-intercept. x and y are just x and y. If the equation is mixed up, and is not in y=mx+b format, you need to solve to get y on one side, the slope, x, and whatever the presented constant is (which is the y-intercept) on the other side. hope this helps.
