The Intercepts from a table exercise appears under the Algebra I Math Mission. This exercise practices finding intercepts from a table.

Types of Problems[]

There is one type type of problem in this exercise:

Intercepts from a table

Find the intercepts of the line

  1. Determine the intercepts of the line that passes through the following points.: This problem has three points and user is asked to find the intercepts of the line that passes through them.

Strategies[]

Knowledge of finding intercepts from a table is highly recommended to have success while doing this exercise.

  1. The y-intercept of a line is the point of intersection between the y-axis and the line. Since the y-axis is also the line , equals, 0, the x-value of this point will always be 0.
  2. The x-intercept of a line is the point of intersection between the x-axis and the line. Since the x-axis is also the line , equals, 0, the y-value of this point will always be 0.

Real-life=Applications[]

  1. Problems like this will appear on standardized tests, like the SATs.
