Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's analyze the graphs in the image you uploaded to estimate the x- and y-intercepts for both graphs.
For Graph 11:
-
The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis (where ).
- From the graph, the line crosses the y-axis at .
- Therefore, the y-intercept is .
-
The x-intercept is the point where the line crosses the x-axis (where ).
- From the graph, the line crosses the x-axis at .
- Therefore, the x-intercept is .
For Graph 12:
-
The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.
- The line crosses the y-axis at .
- Therefore, the y-intercept is .
-
The x-intercept is the point where the line crosses the x-axis.
- The line crosses the x-axis at approximately (it's an estimate based on the graph).
- Therefore, the x-intercept is .
Would you like further details or have any questions about these intercepts?
Here are five questions to expand on this concept:
- How do you calculate the slope of a line using intercepts?
- What is the equation of the line for each graph based on the intercepts?
- Can you determine the slope-intercept form from these graphs?
- How would these intercepts change if the line were steeper?
- How do x- and y-intercepts help in solving linear equations graphically?
Tip: To find intercepts from a graph, set one variable to zero and solve for the other!
