Find the x intercept and y intercept of y2x 10?
To find the y intercept of the line y=2x+10, we must substitute x=0 into the equation. therefore: y=2(o)+10=10. Therefore the y-intercept is 10. Shortcut: the y intercept of any line in the form y=mx+b is simply 'b'. To find the x-intercept, we substitute y=0 into the equation. Therefore 0=2x+10 -10=2x -5=x Therefore, the x-intercept is -5. Shortcut: the x intercept of any line in the form y=mx+b is simply -b/m.
What is the x-intercept of the line given by the equation x- 4y20?
Assuming that you meant "x - 4y = 20", the x-intercept is x=20, and the y-intercept is y=-5.
How do you find the x and y intercept of -4 plus 8y equals 16?
Your equation does not have an x variable. So as-is would be a horizontal line (no x-intercept). If this was a typo and you meant to have x in one of the terms then it would have an x and y intercept. The y intercept is where it intersects the y-axis. The x coordinate of the y-axis is x=0, so substitute x=0 into the equation, and solve for y. To find the x-intercept, substitute y=0, and solve for x.
How do you find the x and y intercepts of an equation?
Substitute zero for x to find the y-intercept, and substitute zero for y to find the x-intercept.
In the equation for a straight line y equals mx plus b what is the x-intercept equal to?
The x-intercept is equal to -b/m.
How do you find the slope intercept of a vertical line?
A vertical line on a graph has infinite slope and no y-intercept. Its equation is [ x = a number ]. The number is the line's x-intercept.
What is the x-intercept of a linear equation?
The x-intercept is where the line intersects with, or crosses, the x axis. To find it, take the equation, put in 0 for y, and solve for x. The intercept will be (#,0).
How do you find x intercept?
to find the y-intercept you plug in your x and y values in to the equation of y=mx+b. b is the y intercept and m is the slope. To find the x-intercept, set y = 0, and find value of x that satisfies the equation. If it is a line in the form y=mx+b, then the x-intercept will be at x= -b/m
How would you find the equation of a line if you were given the slope and the y-intercept?
y = {slope}x + {y intercept}
What is the equation of a line with a x intercept of 3 and no y intercept?
If it a straight line with no y intercept, it must be parallel to the y-axis. So the equation is x = 3
How do you find x-intercept?
To find the x-intercept you need to set y=0 in your equation. To find the y-intercept you need to set x=0 in your equation.
How do you find a negative slope intercept of a vertical line?
A vertical line does not have a slope - negative or positive. It is not defined. A vertical line has no y intercept and, if its equation is x = c (for some number c), then the x-intercept is (c, 0).
How do you find the x intercept on a linear equation?
At the x-intercept on the graph of the equation, y=0. Take the equation, set 'y' equal to zero, and solve the equation for 'x'. The number you get is the x-intercept.
If the constant term in the slope-intercept equation for a line determines what?
The x intercept.
How do you find the equation of the line given the slope equals 5 and the x intercept equals 7?
Call the intercept with the y-axis b. The equation for the line is then y=5x+b With the information about the x-intercept we get: 0=5*7+b b=-35
Find the x intercept and y intercept of y2x 10?
To find the y intercept of the line y=2x+10, we must substitute x=0 into the equation. therefore: y=2(o)+10=10. Therefore the y-intercept is 10. Shortcut: the y intercept of any line in the form y=mx+b is simply 'b'. To find the x-intercept, we substitute y=0 into the equation. Therefore 0=2x+10 -10=2x -5=x Therefore, the x-intercept is -5. Shortcut: the x intercept of any line in the form y=mx+b is simply -b/m.
What is the equation of a vertical line that has an x-intercept of -7?
x = -7
