Intercepts

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

An x-intercept is where a graph crosses the x-axis, found by setting y to zero; a y-intercept mirrors it with x.

Show

For 2x + 3y = 6: y = 0 gives (3, 0); x = 0 gives (0, 2).

Watch for

An intercept is a point, not a bare number.

Builds on

  • Nothing — this is a starting point.

Unlocks

  • Nothing yet depends on this.
