Finding Intercepts from an Equation
In this lesson, you will learn how to find the x and y intercepts from an equation without graphing. By setting x or y equal to zero, you can solve for the other variable and find the points where the equation crosses the x and y axes. These points are the x and y intercepts, which you can use to graph the equation. This method is a useful tool for quickly finding intercepts and graphing equations without needing to rely on a visual representation.
How to find the x and y intercept from an equation
I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.
