Question1. The point where the graph of a function crosses the xx-axis is called the \qquad
2. To find the xx-intercept, set \qquad to zero and solve for x .
3. The point where the graph of a function crosses the yy-axis is called the \qquad .
4. To find the yy-intercept, set \qquad to zero and solve for yy.

STEP 1

What is this asking? This worksheet wants us to remember how to find those special points where a graph crosses the x and y axes! Watch out! Don't mix up the *x* and *y* intercepts!
It's easy to get them flipped.

STEP 2

1. X-intercept
2. Finding the x-intercept
3. Y-intercept
4. Finding the y-intercept

STEP 3

Where does a graph cross the **x-axis**?
That special point is called the **x-intercept**!

STEP 4

To find the **x-intercept**, we set  y=0\ y = 0 and solve for x x .
Think of it this way: along the x-axis, the *y*-coordinate is always zero!

STEP 5

Where does a graph cross the **y-axis**?
That's the **y-intercept**!

STEP 6

To find the **y-intercept**, we set x=0 x = 0 and solve for y y .
Similar to the x-intercept, along the y-axis, the *x*-coordinate is always zero!

STEP 7

1. The point where the graph of a function crosses the xx-axis is called the **x-intercept**.
2. To find the xx-intercept, set yy to zero and solve for xx.
3. The point where the graph of a function crosses the yy-axis is called the **y-intercept**.
4. To find the yy-intercept, set xx to zero and solve for yy.
