x and y can be used to determine many things. For math, for instance, they are used for variables as to isolate the variable term and variables in expressions and equations. The x any y in math can be plugged in with the numbers that are provided in the question. Now for science, they are also used as variables. If you are making a graph to represent data, you are always going to need an x and y variable. In Science, x is the independent variable which means its variation does not depend on that of another. Y is the dependent variable, wich means whose value depends on that of another. For example, if you wanted to make a graph on losing weight over time, x would be the time(days or something like that) and y would be how much weight lost. Like how many pounds.

Find the x and y intercepts of 3x-2y6?

Given the linear equation 3x - 2y^6 = 0, the x and y intercepts are found by replacing the x and y with 0. This gives the intercepts of x and y where both = 0.


What if you cant do find the x intercepts?

Then there is no x-intercept. No big deal. Lots of functions do not have x- intercepts. For example, y = x2 + 1 or y = 2x


How d yu find x and y intercept on a graph?

In the equation y = f(x), Put x = 0 and solve for y. Those are the y intercepts. Put y = 0 and solve for x. Those are the x intercepts.


What are the x and y intercepts for each equation?

To find the x and y intercepts of an equation, set y to 0 to find the x-intercept (solve for x), and set x to 0 to find the y-intercept (solve for y). For example, in the equation (y = 2x + 4), the x-intercept is found by setting (y = 0), giving (x = -2), and the y-intercept is found by setting (x = 0), yielding (y = 4). If you provide specific equations, I can calculate their intercepts for you.


What is the x coordinate for all y-intercepts?

The x coordinate for all y intercepts is 0, just as the y coordinate for all x intercepts is 0.


How do you find the numbers x-intercepts of function y equals 5x'2?

5x²=0 X=0 the function y=5x² only intercepts x when x = 0


How to find the x-intercepts when there is no y?

If there is no y, then the equation is of the form x = c where c is some constant value. And so the line intercepts the x axis at (c,0).


What are x and y intercepts?

The x and y intercepts are where a line on a graph intersects (crosses over) the x or y axis.


Find the x and y intercept of 9x54-6y?

I believe that you need an equation to solve for the x and y intercepts.


How do you find the x and y intersepts?

plug in 0 to x and y values P.S. you spelt Intercepts wrong


How do you find the x and y intercepts of an equation?

Oh, finding the x and y intercepts is like finding little treasures in your painting. To find the x-intercept, you set y to zero and solve for x. To find the y-intercept, you set x to zero and solve for y. Remember, there are no mistakes in mathematics, just happy little accidents.


Find intercepts of xy equals 4?

There are no intercepts because the curve, xy = 4 is asymptotic. When x = 0 (where the y intercept would be) y is infinite, and conversely, when y = 0 x is infinite.
